| − | u : Search is relative to this unit.

| − | s : Symbolic name of the NPC or Object to find.

| − | i : FIND_UNIT_XXX bit vector of places to search.

| − | This routine supplements findroom, findunit and findsymbolic(#). It comes in
| |
| − | handy, if it is important to get a correct reference to a unit somewhere
| |
| − | relative to 'u'. If for example, Mary needs to check if she has her own
| |
| − | cooking pot, then she should NOT use the findunit since it may locate a
| |
| − | different pot, not belonging to Haon-Dor but to some other zone. If she
| |
| − | instead locates it using findsymbolic(self, "pot@haon_dor", FIND_UNIT_IN_ME)
| |
| − | she would be certain that it is in fact her own cooking pot that she is
| |
| − | carrying around, and not some other pot from a Joe Blow's zone.
