I don't think it's necessary to pollute the command set with a command that
takes an additional argument but does exactly the same thing.

you are correct, it should be 'unattaching from'

'noname' is generic, which means if more than one user connects, you'll get
more than one noname. [0] refers to game.players[0] or the player in slot
0. It was mainly for debugging purposes, but it can be useful otherwise. If
you really hate it, it can be removed.

actually the situation is completely different. If you start the game right
now, Bob will start a [one-player] ai game all by himself. The user kaufman
will just sit in the staging area: he's not attached to a player.
