+SYNOPSIS
+	object to_object(string arg)
+	object to_object(closure arg)
+	object to_object(object arg)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	The argument is converted into an object, if possible.
+	For strings, the object with a matching object_name() is
+	returned, or 0 if there is none, as find_object() does.
+	For (bound!) closures, the object holding the closure is
+	returned.
+	Objects and the number 0 return themselves.
