This way for users like Professor_de_la_Paz whose names are basically another holocaust to type can be given a nickname by users of high enough account standing. Have a separate flag @! to prevent from username / nickname collisions.

This way I could @!PDLP which would be equivalent to @Professor_de_la_Paz and he would get a mention.

That's already a feature for that:

Yeah I get it. That's different than what I'm suggesting. All this does is populate based on username. I'm suggesting allowing nicknames and if I were to give you the nuckname 'A' I could @!A which would @ you rather than if there were an account which had the username 'A'. This is why the new flag @! is necessary to avoid collisions between nicknames and usernames.

Not gonna happen. It's a waste of resources (queries will have to be made every single time someone will type @ in textarea).

Figured it would be resource intense.
