Since I should be working on my Wednesday-night lecture, I decided I
could more efficiently procrastinate by finally tweaking the library for
nameable objects that I offered up earlier this week.  So, that's done.

In the incoming directory on GMD, I've deposited Nameable.h, which
allows a programmer to create objects that can be given proper names,
like in Beyond Zork:
    ] name the police officer "Jimmy"
and from then on, "examine Jimmy" will work as-expected.

Names are limited to the eight-Z-character string at the moment, but I'm
working out the details beyond that.

Enjoy/pick apart.
