I almost inadvertantly convinced Jeremy to rewrite it in C++ when I added
this:

#define CHECK_PLAYER_SPECIAL(ch, var) \
        (*(((ch)->player_specials == &dummy_mob) ? (log("SYSERR: Mob using
'"#var"' at %s:%d.", __FILE__, __LINE__), &(var)) : &(var)))

He thought it was really really ugly. :)

Sounds like there's a definite possibility.

There is already MUD++, which seems to have sort of stalled.
