Subject: Command-line-esque Parsing

This is such an obvious task that I can't believe I am unable to locate
a verb in the *_utils objects that does what I want:

Given a string, I want to parse it up into a dobjstr, prepstr, and iobjstr,
just like the server would.

The original motivation is to be able to handle command lines with more than
one preposition in them, like "look at foo in bar".

Any suggestions?

$string_utils:parse_command(cmdline-string)

It returns a big cryptic list.  Look at the help to try to figure it out.
