I've never seen it supported on LPs or Tiny-derivatives. It's something
that most *Diku* (and Diku-derivative) veterans might try, but I'm not
sure about "most mud veterans."
(Heck, most mud veterans *I* know try looking at the help to see what sort
of commands are supported first, so they'd be able to deal with any
reasonable command structure.)
I do agree, though, that it would be a good idea for a mud to support that
syntax as well as the LP-style "sword 2" and the English "second sword"
and "2nd sword".
