Sorry, beat you to the idea.

+  RECREATE(world, struct room_data, top_of_world + 2);
+  top_of_world++;

It's already in for rooms in v2.0 and will be in for the rest also.

Deletion is actually easier and I have a delete_room() function right now.
What I need is for people to use add_room(), delete_room() and copy_room()
for templates and make the same obj/zon/shp type thing.  I'll do the mobs,
I already started.  If no one does, I'll do it but it'll take me longer.
Debugging may be assisted by Purify which is quite picky.
