I don't know how "implementable" it would be, but it would be really nice if
some core objects could be made available in "options packages," like little
core dumps of very select objects which could be loaded into existing DB's
with a wizardly "patch()" function. That way, anyone who actually had a need
for Mr. Spell (for example) could go get it off parcftp, and everyone else
need not worry about "what is this for and how do I use it and why does it
take up 40% of the distribution core?" Also, those with established DB's would
be able to patch in neato new stuff like $gopher et al. Presumably, it would
work to have a function that just commandeered the next few available objnum's
and added the necessary props to #0.
