 Such a command would be useful for another reason also - though
perhaps not so applicable to muds...
 I used to use lyntin for an IRC client. On IRC, the server sends you
a message when someone else says something, but when you say something
the server gives you no indication that it happened. So, obviously, my
#sub command which formats incoming messages nicely isn't going to
work when I talk - I have to make an alias and stick in a #showme to
format my messages nicely. But then this still isn't great because my
messages don't get #highlight'd (and I'm forced to have "# " at the
front of my format style to match #showme).
 So yeah, I often thought about a simulate command but I never worked
out how I'd implement it.
