removed look() from Thing. moved 'contents' variable from Chest to Thing and made it null by default. added new Thing constructor to see if we want the Thing to hold Item(s), if so it initializes the internal arraylist. added handleDeath(...) method to MUDServer to handle the results of dying in the future. uncommented System.out.println call in generateTopicFileIndex() for debugging. added separate topics directory. made aliases map a LinkedHashMap. moved aliases printing out external to loading them. moved '@shutdown' to GOD level commands. added setLastSpell(...) and getLastSpell() methods to access last spell cast. included an isCaster guard/check in those methods, but maybe that belongs where the method is use
