object present( mixed str, object ob );
This efun is only available if NO_ENVIRONMENT is not compiled in.
If an object for which id(str) returns true exists, return it.
`str' can also be an object, in 'str' is searched for, instead of calling the function id().
If `ob' is given, then the search is done in the inventory of `ob', otherwise the object is searched for in the inventory of the current object, and in the inventory of the environment of the current object.
