NAME
query_verb - give the currently active verb
SYNOPSIS
string query_verb()
DESCRIPTION
Returns the currently issued verb. This is only relevant when an
interactive player has issued a command. This function will
then return the first word of that command, ie all text up to but
not including the first space.
SEE ALSO
add_action
CAVEAT
When the verb have been added with the short verb flag, ie with
add_action("function","verb",1)
then all text up to first space is not equivalent to what triggered
the command to be executed.
You must currently remember which verb you did add_action() on
until there exists a query_trigverb(). The query_verb() can become
0 if some other object loaded and trigged another verb.
