This may just be an echo of what you're saying, but we could make a rough
guess about what should be supported, define the structure, and create the
ruleset(s), all without actually supporting it with any new AI code -- that
way the infrastructure would be there whenever someone did get started on the
code.  (I would like to see that much added to the roadmap.)

Also, would this be a good place to start trying to introduce the use of
GUILE into the AI?  I'm not sure yet where I'll be this summer, but this
might be something I could fiddle with a bit.  I'm studying AI, so maybe I
should try actually using it for something...
