I like this the best (ponders):
object:
$root,dbref_symbol 'object
$root.dbref() => "$object"
$root.dbref_symbol() return dbref_symbol;
$root.name() return .dbref()
$vr.name() return name;
$vr,name ["chair", "blue", 'informal]
$physical.name() All the funky stuff I do with .name right now:
.name() => "the blue chair"
.name('actual) => "chair"
etc.
anyhsm, I love it...
