 SYNOPSIS
-	mixed prepare_destruct(object obj)
+        mixed prepare_destruct(object obj)
 
 DESCRIPTION
-	Prepare the destruction of the object obj. Return 0 if the
-	object is ready for destruction, any other value will abort
-	the attempt. If a string is returned, an error with the string
-	as message will be issued.

-	The interpreter calls this function whenever an object shall
-	be destructed. It expects, that this function cleans the
-	inventory of the object, or the destruct will fail.
-	Furthermore, the function could notify the former inventory
-	objects that their holder is under destruction (useful to move
-	users out of rooms which re updated); and it could announce
-	systemwide the destruction(quitting) of users.

+        Another use for this apply is to take care of any other
+        'cleanup' work needed to be done, like adjusting weights,
+        light levels, and such. Alternatively and traditionally this
+        is done by calling an lfun 'remove()' in the object, which
+        then calls the efun destruct() after performing all the
+        adjustments.
