This may not be in the most recent LambdaCore, but in the one I'm looking
at $player:confunc has the lines
if (this.justborn == 1)
  this.justborn = 0;
  if (!$object_utils:isa(this, $guest))
    move(this, $limbo);
  endif
endif

Since this.justborn is presumably true just once in the entire lifetime of
the user, wouldn't it make more sense to create a child of $player, call
it $new_player, and then modify $new_player:confunc() to provide the new
user with whatever new information is needed, and then chparent(this,
$player)?

Dunno if this will apply to anyone, since it's an old LambdaCore I'm
looking at, but thought it might be of general interest.
