     NAME
          call_out() - delayed function call in same object
     SYNOPSIS
          void call_out( string | function fun, int delay, mixed arg
          );
     DESCRIPTION
          Set up a call of function <fun> in this_object(). The call
          will take place in <delay> seconds, with the argument <arg>
          provided. <arg> can be of any type.
          Please note that you can't rely on write() or say() in <fun>
          since this_player() is set to 0. Use tell_object() instead.
          The define THIS_PLAYER_IN_CALL_OUT exists to remedy the
          above problem.
