What about (and i'm just throwing this idea out -- given that i'm not
totally clear what we're trying to achieve) allowing creation of
ThingReferences from within the game? Then a player could have a
property containing all the different names (actually, references) that
could refer to an object. A modification would need to be made in the
"search engine" to check the player first......
