we have '-' which re-uses the last used name, but it doesn't work everywhere yet.
it would be extremely useful to be able to do "@-" both for long conversations and for messaging the person you just used a command on.
An example:
/freeze bobby
@- what do you think you're doing?

Adding support for the "-" shortcut in all 120ish commands was a pretty big task, so I missed a few places. I'll add support to PMs as well. If you think of any other commands/functions that I've missed, let me know!

It doesn't work with /wload, but I'm not sure if it should...

I cannot think of a single situation in which the name of a world would be used in a command PRIOR to that world being loaded.

/Rank fixed (internally). I'll look into /WLoad next.
Edit: /WLoad fixed as well, in r1221

isn't it possible to do with PMs like with Rank messages?
If I do: "@gynga6871hufsa blah blah blah", then "@ blah blah blah"

BobKare - Adding a "reply to pm" shortcut was discussed before, and we couldnt agree on the exact command behavior. See:
[1] [2]
For now, you will be able to reuse the last-entered player name in PM by typing "@- blah blah". That's about it.
