removing it?  (If only to get rid of the compiler warning messages.)

Also, I noticed that MudOS has a contrib efun copy, which is also a

unless receive_object() is defined somewhere else as well, removal
would make objects unable to hold other objects

I have if'deffed it out for now. It should be ok to remove.

It used to be there for a very very old inheritance bug :)

pointerp() or mapp()

In /adm/etc/channels there is a line per channelname. It also holds the
external objects name (if any). If it's specified it tries to call a
function :

int daemon_apply(object user, string channel, string message, int emote)

Take a look at /adm/daemons/network/I3/channel.c for an example
