    $registration_db also stores information like whether a dead player was reaped
    or MOOicided, or whether two players sharing an email address are perhaps two
    separate individuals.  It -can- store any information you choose to store there,
    but in LambdaCore those two examples are actually stored in $registration_db
    and nowhere else.
