Public bug reported:
setExit() accepts a number or a short direction name (like "e", "ne")
setExitStub() accepts a number as direction
getRoomExits() returns a long direction name (like "east", "north")
connectExitStub() is even more bizarre, it does not work with 2 arguments as
stated in manual as well
Also writing scripts for non-english mud is painful as I have to
maintain 3 name mappings just for directions... translating in one or
another way.
speedwalk also outputs short directions and I have to translate them
into correct ones (and why up and down was not shortened as well?).
Is it possible to make it consistent and more friendly?
