** Description changed:

  setExit() accepts a number or a short direction name (like "e", "ne")
  setExitStub() accepts a number as direction
  getRoomExits() returns a long direction name (like "east", "north")
  connectExitStub() is even more bizarre, it does not work with 2 arguments as stated in manual as well
+ setDoor() and getDoors() requires and returns direction in short form ("e", "ne")
  
  Also writing scripts for non-english mud is painful as I have to
  maintain 3 name mappings just for directions... translating in one or
  another way.
  
  speedwalk also outputs short directions and I have to translate them
  into correct ones (and why up and down was not shortened as well?).
  
- Is it possible to make it consistent and more friendly?
+ Is it possible to make it consistent and more friendly? Make it all
+ english short names for example or numbers everywhere (less friendly
+ IMHO)?
