Just a matter of syntax then hehe, I use the kernel in essence so that all
passes thru receive_message() and every in-game object inherits
common/thing.c
receive_message() will pass to do_command() or an input_to object (though
again with stacked commands I might have to change that implementation :P)

For any non-connection object, if they call the function action("string")
that sends "string" off to thing.c's receive_message() to be processed and
potentially turned into a command/which would cause an 'action'.

So I think we're all on the same page, just different implementations of a
similiar thing...
