    >It seems that line 8 in #57:@shutdown

    Well, #57 is $command_utils, and it doesn't define a @shutdown verb.
    Blah. Of course I know you meant to say $wiz:@shutdown. Just a reminder -
    not all MOO databases are based on the same LambdaCore, ok?
    Not to mention that the homologous line in our $wiz:@shutdown is number 18
    by now...

    It is best to provide some message to be shown to the users. This
    requirement for trailing blankspace probably attempts to enforce that by
    making a message-less @shutdown command work differently than expected.
    Right, not the best way to do it.
