Summary0000813: query_ip_number(&ob) returns &ob
DescriptionIf query_ip_number is given a reference to a variable, query_ip_number returns that reference instead of a string (as stated in the documentation).

I like the documented way better, because returning a reference can be very dangerous (a function might return the result of query_ip_number directly and so return a reference to a local variable, even an experienced admin occasionally crashes a MUD in such a way...)

Btw, I find it annoying that query_ip_number returns bytes > 127 as negative integers.

query_ip_number might be obsoleted by 0000596. So it might not be worth to implement this suggestion and remove this efun instead.

The efun mysteriously vanished.
