  I guess you could use the (very new) call_touch for
this...  Prior to call_touch there was no real way to
tell when the object was referenced so you couldn't do
it that way.

  Hm.  Maybe I'll start having Phantasmal do upgrades
that way.  I'd need to make sure that all upgrading
was already finished before each recompile, though, to
avoid losing the old upgraded() code or having to
write upgraded() functions that could handle every
possible previous version.

  But you're right, that could save you some time if
you did it well.
