Nothing major will change before the 3.1 release, which shouldn't take much
longer. We actually have documentation now which was the major hurdle in
the past.

Later versions I would like to use pointers to rooms instead of real
numbers but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll just be a big linked list.
It could be thrown into a tree, hash, heap, or some other appropriate data
structure. Maybe we'll keep it generic enough to use SQL-backed worlds.
Not a lot of point debating it further at the moment since none of it is
going to happen right now.
