[DGD] Greetings, and a couple of small questions

[Steve Wooster]

     Hi, my name is Steve Wooster. I used to code for an LPmud running on 
MudOS, called The Two Towers. I'm mostly interested in DGD as a way to have 
fun attempting to make a mudlib from scratch, though I'm not really 
planning on running a mud anytime in the near future. I've been listening 
to this list for a month or two, and I've read through some of the messages 
in the archives on the website. Just like most people joining this list, 
I'm amazed by the quality of the messages here. :)

I had a couple of questions...

1. Is there a reason why the Klib separates clonables/libraries/etc based 
on directories rather than file extensions? (for example, why not have 
inheritables be /path/obj.i and clonables be /path/obj.c?)

2. Would it be difficult or a bad idea for DGD to have some kind of 
immediate_call_out("func") function that's like call_out("func",0), but 
makes sure the new thread is the next one called? It seems like many people 
have talked about making code that requires multiple consecutive threads, 
and they have to go through a lot of trouble by suspending call_outs and 
blocking user input. I just figured something like this would make all that 
work unnecessary.

I've just been wondering about those two things. My apologies if they've 
already been asked. Thanks for any replies. :)

-Steve
