This is the main reason for the approach I took, of tying everything into a 
call_out on the user object (actually the body of the user, which is 
separate from the user itself).  One of my design goals was to make mobiles 
first-class citizens, able to use any command players could, except for 
meta-commands (quitting the game, changing passwords, etc).  By passing the 
body around (it can initially be gotten using this_object ()), there's no 
dependence on this_user ().
