-Evennia misc commands
-
-Contribution - Griatch 2011
-
-This module offers some miscellaneous commands that may be useful
-depending on the game you run or the style of administration you
-prefer. Alternatively they can be looked at for inspiration.
-
-To make available in the game, make sure to follow the instructions
-in game/gamesrc/commands/examples.py (copy the template up one level
-and re-point the relevant settings to this new module - if you already
-have such a module, you can of course use that).  Next import this module into
-this custom module and add the command class(es) you want to the default
-command set. You need to reload the server to make them recognized.

-    Quelling permissions
-
-    Usage:
-      quell
-      unquell
-      quell/permlevel <command>
-
-    Normally the permission level of the Player is used when puppeting a
-    Character/Object to determine access. Giving this command without
-    arguments will instead switch the lock system to make use of the
-    puppeted Object's permissions instead. Note that this only works DOWNWARDS -
-    a Player cannot use a higher-permission Character to escalate their Player
-    permissions for example. Use the unquell command to revert this state.
-
-    Note that the superuser character is unaffected by full quelling. Use a separate
-    admin account for testing.
-
-    When given an argument, the argument is considered a command to execute with
-    a different (lower) permission level than they currently have. This is useful
-    for quick testing. If no permlevel switch is given, the command will be
-    executed using the lowest permission level available in settings.PERMISSION_HIERARCHY.
-
-    Quelling singular commands will work also for the superuser.
