Anyway, I figured I'd just inform you that this is already done (the string
thing) at ftp.circlemud.org with the string parser.
It allows for
[? int < 15:You are dumb.\You are smart.]
To put out in the description You are dumb. or You are smart. In any
event, it's there, and easily expandable. (When I first put it in my MUD,
about 20 minutes later it was race friendly along with other stuff.)
