Keywords are:  '+ : ? . ,'

The '+', ':', '?', '.', and ',' characters are special and can be used
to find specific types of things if added before the name of that thing.

The ':' character searches only for players, and ignores mobs and objects.
The '.' character searches only for your minions, and ignores all else.
The ',' character searches only for any creature except yourself.
The '+' character searches only for mobs, ignoring player minions.
The '?' character searches only for objects, ignoring all mobs and players.

For example:

look skeleton    - Look at the first skeleton thing that's found.  It could
                   be a mob, an object, or a player.  This is the default.

look :skeleton   - Look at the player named Skeleton, ignoring everything
                   else named skeleton.

look +skeleton   - Look at a mob named skeleton, as long as it's not a
                   player minion.

look ,skeleton   - If your player name is 'Skeleton', you'll never look at
                   yourself with this command.

look .skeleton   - Look at my first skeleton minion, ignoring all other
                   things named skeleton.

look ?skeleton   - Look at a skeleton object, ignoring all mobs and players
                   named skeleton.

You can also use the normal number syntax after the special character if
there's more than one thing with that name.  For example:

look .2.skeleton - Look at my second skeleton minion.

look 2.?skeleton - Look at the second skeleton object.

The '?' is usually the most important when a player name conflicts with
an item name, and you want to target the item, not the player.  For
example, if there is a board and a player name 'boa' in the same room, you
can 'look ?boa' to get the board instead of the player.  Alternately, you
can 'look :boa' to get the player instead of the board.
