+SYNOPSIS
+        int remove(void)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+        remove() does some housekeeping to ensure consistency and then
+        destructs the current object.
+
+        This lfun is not applied by the parser, but by other objects
+        to tell the current object to self-destruct. remove() should
+        be supplied by the base classes of the library.  Return 1 if
+        actually self-destructed, 0 otherwise.
+
+        An alternative way to ensure the housekeeping on destruction
+        is through the use of the master apply prepare_destruct().
+
+NOTE
+        Your actual mudlib may name this lfun differently, "remove()" is
+        just the traditional name.
