While we're asking for functionality, let me toss out two things from my wish list:

- MOVE CHECKPOINT TIMING OUT OF THE SERVER
  I'd love for a mechanism by which the server will forget all about periodic checkpoints, and leave it up to the wizards to checkpoint as often and at whatever intervals they wish.  Maybe make this optional, with the default behavior to respect current behavior.

- MOVE MOVEMENT OUT OF THE SERVER
  The move() builtin, as well as its related stuff (:accept, :enterfunc, :exitfunc, .location, .contents) gets in my way sometimes (especially with E_RECMOVE, which I still don't get).  Can we move movement and location out of the server entirely?  I'd like to control it in-DB.  (This would be consistent with uses of the LambdaMOO server for which "location" is meaningless.)
