/now switch for enqueueing commands

Original issue 203 created by brazilofmux on 2006-10-30T22:37:07.000Z:

TinyMUSH 3.1 offers a /now switch on enqueueing commands like @switch,
@dolist, @trigger, and @force. This essentially skips the extra queue cycle
and executes the command immediately.

For example:

&cmd-mywho me = $mywho:
@pemit %# = u(u-mywho-header);
@dolist/now lwho() = {@pemit %# = u(u-mywho-line, ##)};
@pemit %# = u(u-mywho-footer);

The mywho command would put the footer after the who list, not before it.

Might want to make /now wiz-only for security and tight-looping reasons.

This one is a tad controversial, and there are interactions with @break and @Assert,
but if something can done, ...

As a historical note, a discussion of those sorts of interactions took place on
Adam's softcode list in 2001, so he should be familiar with the "controversy". I'll
attach a couple of old emails here in case that's helpful, because a google search
doesn't turn up these archives.
