This is a simple gender-aware Character class for allowing users to
insert custom markers in their text to indicate gender-aware
messaging. It relies on a modified msg() and is meant as an
inspiration and starting point to how to do stuff like this.
An object can have the following genders:
- male (he/his)
- female (her/hers)
- neutral (it/its)
- ambiguous (they/them/their/theirs)
When in use, messages can contain special tags to indicate pronouns gendered
based on the one being addressed. Capitalization will be retained.
- `|s`, `|S`: Subjective form: he, she, it, He, She, It, They
- `|o`, `|O`: Objective form: him, her, it, Him, Her, It, Them
- `|p`, `|P`: Possessive form: his, her, its, His, Her, Its, Their
- `|a`, `|A`: Absolute Possessive form: his, hers, its, His, Hers, Its, Theirs
For example,
```
char.msg("%s falls on |p face with a thud." % char.key)
"Tom falls on his face with a thud"
```
The default gender is "ambiguous" (they/them/their/theirs).
To use, have DefaultCharacter inherit from this, or change
setting.DEFAULT_CHARACTER to point to this class.
The `@gender` command is used to set the gender. It needs to be added to the
default cmdset before it becomes available.
