I'm just in the middle of changing the data structure from lots of
individual arrays to a player based hash so that all the attributes are
attributed to a player, so adding multiple roles/good-badness etc will
be easy to do on a per-player basis. Unfortuanately this means that the
code is in bits all over my floor at the moment, but I hope to have it
put back together again soon :)

I'm in favor of really fine grained controls, so something like an
-autoillusionself option which controls this. That way the fine grained
controls can either be enabled/disabled themselves or maybe included in
super options like -limitedinfo
