# Request for LambdaMOO 1.8.0

    I have a request for something to be put into the final release of
    LambdaMOO 1.8.0: allow verb names in builtin functions to be numbers,
    rather than strings.  If they're numbers, then they'll ALWAYS be
    interpreted as the verb's number, rather than the verb's name.  For
    example, say I had object $foo, with three verbs:
    $foo:bar any  in   this
    $foo:baz any  any  any
    $foo:2   this none none

    ;verb_args($foo, "2") => {"this", "none", "none"}
    ;verb_args($foo, 2) => {"any", "any", "any"}

    The verbs that would need to be changed that I can see are: verb_code(),
    verb_info(), verb_args(), delete_verb(), set_verb_code(),
    set_verb_args(), set_verb_info(), and decompile().  (Maybe I missed one
    in there).

    I think it would be very useful.  Comments?
