Extra descriptions, quests structures, etc can be searched and manipulated
 
using variables of this type. There is no way to declare static structures of
 
this type in DIL programs. Lists of extra descriptions are easily searched with
 
the 'in' operator (See below).  Extraptr variables are 'volatile', and thus
 
cleared whenever there is a possibility that they are rendered unusable.
