+//TODO: refactor mob attack code.
+/*
+Busy writing something else that I don't want to get mixed up in a general attack code, and I don't want to forget this so leaving a note here.
+leave attackby() as handling the general case of "using an item on a mob"
+attackby() will decide to call attacked_by() or not.
+attacked_by() will be made a living level proc and handle the specific case of "attacking with an item to cause harm"
+attacked_by() will then call attack() so that stunbatons and other weapons that have special attack effects can do their thing.
+attacked_by() will handle hitting/missing/logging as it does now, and will call attack() to apply the attack effects (damage) instead of the other way around (as it is now).
