Yes, I agree.
Which brings me to a question of whether it makes sense for a Morph to
know about its player.
Are players inherently useful for objects in general? Would
generalizing this make scripting a lot more flexible?
I'm groping for a way to eliminate Morph's dependence on Player while
making Player/Scripting more general so it works on any kind of object.
Does this sound reasonable or am I missing a key idea?
