Lfun:	id - identify an object

Synopsis:
	int id(string ident)

Description:
	This function is used to identify an object. It is called with a
	describing string that the player typed. For example "apple" in
	"get apple". In LPMUD slang those strings are called id's after the
	name of this function.

Return value:
	Id should return 1 for all adequate id-strings, else 0.

Examples:
	In the case of an apple the id function would look like this:
		id(s) { return s=="apple" || s=="an apple"; }

	You can call short() from within id() if it makes sense to do so
	(usually it does).

	To check the id of an object you can also call it directly.
