You bet it'd be useful, we'd finally have a su command!

I do most of my work as non-wiz, to avoid excess holes, and open up another
windows logged in as wiz when needed..

It'd be great if I could

@su wizard
password: *****

<do wizly commands>

@exit/@unsu/@whatever

And I'm me again..

Come to think of it, I guess this could be done pretty easily and more
sensibly with read()/notify()..

Um, in my best Emily LaTilla voice, "Never mind."
