If I understand this question, you can either put it on your body, if it's
just for you, or on a feature object, if it's for everyone.  The FO is
pretty easy to get going.

Mind your arg types, too.

For example, to make a ! verb similar to "

@verb me:!* any any any rdx
@program me:!
msg = player:name() + " yells, \"" + verb[2..length(verb)] + " " +
tostr(@args) + "\";
player.location:announce_all(msg) ;

Note that this is an example, and may have bugs.. certainly you'd want to
test the length of verb, or you'll error if you type:

! blah blah
