Command parser extension suggestions

[Omikhleia]

Say we have several object going by the same name and same aliases, so no way for distinguishing them, e.g. let's clone a dozen of bottles of beer ;)
The look-up functions in world-object-class-builder.js will return ambiguous:

• "this" verbs will not be invoked (= no matching verb on ambiguous, obviously)
• Other invoked verbs with "any" will usually test against ambiguous in their dobj/iobj and display messages such as "I can't tell which bottle you meant."

Suggestion:
I'd eventually like to tackle with this issue by supporting qualifiers:

• Some way to specify a qualifier indicating which item to check, e.g. (as seen on different MUD code bases) get 2.bottle or get bottle 2, specifying the index of the object (within the appropriate container)
• An "all" qualifier, e.g. get all and get all bottle

The latter would likely require a "many" keyword for verbs, in that case expanding to an array of items.

"any" may have to remain anyway, since things such as unlock chest with all key might not be acceptable (depending on the game, so that's a user decision).

Or do you have any other idea in mind?

I agree and you've implemented the first version of it, so closing this issue.
