The main command to use is @lock, which accept three types of locks at the moment, and three types of keys:
Locks: DefaultLock, UseLock, EnterLock
Keys: ObjectIDs, Groups, Permissions
This offers the most useful functionality - stopping people from picking up things, blocking exits and stopping
anyone from using an object.
If the attributes lock_msg, use_lock_msg and enter_lock_msg are defined on the locked object, these will be used
as error messages instead of a standard one (so "the door is locked" instead of "you cannot traverse that exit").
Behind the scenes, there is a new module, src/locks.py that defines Keys and Locks. A Locks object is a collection
of Lock types. This is stored in the LOCKS attribute on objects. Each Lock contains a set of Keys that might be
of mixed type and which the player must match in order to pass the lock.

The @dig command now accepts the specification of parents for all entries (room and all exits). In principle it also supports ALIASes for each exit, but the ALIAS attribute does not seem to be operational at the moment.
/Griatch
from a special-format batchfile. It is intended for large-scale offline world creation (especially things like room descriptions),
where a real text editor is often easier to use than online alternatives. The @batchprocess also has an /interactive mode which allows
stepping through the batch script, allowing to only execute selected entries; e.g. for editing/updating/debugging etc. There is
an example batchfile in the gamesrc/commands/examples directory.
