Details:
When creating theme items, it's often important to be able to know who the
viewing player is. For instance if you look in reports.cpp, most of the
default ui items make a call to the display object to determine, whose gold
they are supposed to be counting etc.
There doesn't appear to be any way to actually do this in lua though. The
closest thing I can see is something like, at least determining if the viewing
player is also the player whose turn it is, by scrutinizing the report text
generated for the countdown timer (seeing what color that text is, in
particular). This is so painful that it remains purely a hypothetical.
For some reason I added this as an "easy coding task" a long time ago without
ever making a formal feature request.
This really would make the lua "wesnoth.theme_items" feature a hell of a lot
more useful.
