Notes on +staff:
 
  SYNTAX: +staff/add <player>
          +staff/remove <player>
 
  These two commands modify the contents of &STAFF-LIST on the global parent 
  and affect whether or not a given person appears on the +staff and 
  +staff/all listings.  Where isstaff() checks against flags, STAFF-LIST and 
  ostaff() are explicitly set and checked by code.

+version

  SYNTAX:  +version   
           +version <dbref>

  This code is in place to aid the user in the tracking of version history of
  SGP objects.  The first form of this command returns a list of all SGP and 
  additional tracked objects, their version numbers, dbrefs, most recent 
  applied patches, and the date the last upgrade was done.  SGP installers 
  update this information automatically.
  
  The second form of this command looks up a specific tracked object and 
  returns information on what was applied to the object when.

+version (continued)

  SYNTAX:  +version/add <dbref>   
           +version/remove <dbref>
           +version/update <dbref>/<field>=<data>
           
  The first form of this command adds new objects to the +version listing.  
  The second form removes an object from +version. The third form edits 
  various parts of the +version display. Fields include 'version', 
  'patchlevel' and 'history'.  The 'Last Update' field is updated by the first 
  two uses of this command.
  
  Updating the 'history' field adds detailed information to the object's 
  UPDATE-HISTORY attribute and includes a date with every entry.
