It doesn't have to be a mistake, it may be deliberate. To annoy 
someone, or as part of a puzzle/exercise, like the Paper Bag at MOO. 
In either case it may be desirable for someone to have an OOC way to 
escape in case the IC way doesn't work. (in my suggested code, I 
added a way for admins to disable this escape mechanism, should it 
not be desirable)

I don't see why you think it's a hack.. the eject mechanism was 
already there, I just generalized it a bit, slightly cleaned up the 
code (less duplicate code) and made a user-accessible command for it.
