Yes, but if force_input() keeps calling itself, a new command isn't added to
the queue until the previous command runs force_input(), so the queue always
has 1 command in it.  When the player is disconnected, the call to
force_input() returns E_INVARG because the player isn't connected.

Now this won't work if force_input() was called a million times in one
command tho.  If this happens, you should prolly handle it the same way you
would handle a million notify()'s... (how that would be, I don't know)
