FUNCTION

NAME
        set_name - set the name of an object


LOCATION
	This function exists in very many of the lib objects, basically it is
	used by all objects a player will encounter.

SYNTAX
	void set_name(string name)

DESCRIPTION
	This function sets the name of the object. The object can then be
	referred to by this name by the players.


NOTE
        The argument given to set_name should be the lower_case version of 
        the name.


NOTE
	It is far too common that the lfun set_name() is used in the way the
	lfun set_short() should be used. Note the differemce between a name
	and a description: 'monkey' and 'erebus' are names, while 'the monkey'
	and 'a black knight' are descriptions.


EXAMPLE
	set_name("ape");
	set_name("monkey");
	set_name("urgleflogga");
