"batching"

Achaea has a new functionality, which we call "batching". This allows
you to manipulate multiple items at once. The commands that you can do
this with are:
DROP, PUT, GET, GIVE, BUY, INB/OUTB, IND/OUTD (ind/outd are for occultists
only). If you wanted to get 50 myrrh, for instance, you'd just do GET 50 MYRRH. GET MYRRH will still work, but it will just get 1 myrrh.
You will lose balance for approximately 1 second if you manipulate more than one item at a time, but of course the pay off is that you don't have to deal with entering a command 50 times, and you don't have to look at the spam. A maximum of 50 items at a time may be manipulated.
Other changes: You may now do GIVE 100 GOLD TO SARAPIS, instead of GIVE GOLD 100 TO SARAPIS.
Instead of giving rats to the rat collectors one by one, you now have to simply do: SELL RATS TO <whoever>.
