Stop mask-debating!

Addressed to:

Well... I'm sure you will keep debating masks, because you are a thoughtful lot.

ANYWAY

Masks now have the added option to PUSH them, which switches your anonymity on and off.

MASK TOGGLE still toggles your anonymity on WHO, if you want to be anonymous in-room but not on WHO. But this PUSH option overrides WHO anonymity, effectively connecting/disconnecting your mask from the comms.

This switch is removed when you remove the mask (and it's still removed if you're attacked) - so every time you put a mask on it will immediately conceal your identity unless you TOGGLE MASK to change your WHO settings, or PUSH <mask> to switch it on/off entirely.

I've added a usage line to them and will update the help file.

That is all - hope this is useful!
