Precedence: bulk


Since it seems the debate goes into the details... let's add some more.

Now that we have verb index by number (or should I say integer?), it   
would
be nice that verb_info() => {owner, perms, names, index}

and/or to have a new bf:

verb_index(OBJ <object>, STR <name> [, LIST <arguments as per those
returned by verb_args()>]) => INT <index>

IMHO it would make sense to have server facilities to retrive the index   
of
a verb given the name and the args...

P.S. I know it can/is done in-db but the server version would probably be
much faster than less clumsy...

<SNAP OFF>

Think that can be great and in the way that the server
already gone to evolve... Don't think too it take much
time to implement... certainly less than from Db mainteners :)

Just my 2 pennies...
