I think this is a bad idea. If someone is in trouble of dying, then they
could quit to keep themselves from losing the experience. My suggestion
would be NOT allowing players to quit if they are fighting or wounded.
That would solve the problem where do_quit calls the die(ch). They could
only quit if they were healthy and not fighting.
The 'quit' command is a pretty serious command in my opinion, and
shouldn't be used too often by character (except for those newbies who log
on, then quit).
