SYNOPSIS
        string query_verb(void)
        string query_verb(int flag)

DESCRIPTION
        Return the verb of the current command, of 0 if not executing from
        a command. If <flag> is 0 or not given, the verb as given by the user
        is returned (this is the first word from the line input by the player,
        up to but not including the first space or lineend). If <flag> is
        non-0, the verb as specified in the add_action() statement is returned.

EXAMPLES
        void init() {
           ...
           add_action("sing","sing");
           add_action("sing","chant", 1);
           ...
        }
        int sing(string str) {
           write("Your command was: "+query_verb()+(str ? str : "")+"\n");
           write("The action verb was: "+query_verb(1)+(str ? str : "")+"\n");
           return 1;
        }

        The command 'sing ...' will print:
            Your command was: sing
            The action verb was: sing

        The command 'chant ...' will print:
            Your command was: chant
            The action verb was: chant

        The command 'chantit ...' will print:
            Your command was: chantit
            The action verb was: chant
