You can already do this by simply using a "warn" acl verb preceding the
"ratelimit" command. The returned result is irrelevant - all it dictates is
what happens to the following modifier(s); if the result is "true" then the
modifiers are actioned, if it is "false" then they are skipped. In both cases
control passes to the next ACL statement.

Please test the patch.
