[Opensim-users] Fucntion to read a landmark

[Gudule Lapointe]

OK, I have a concern about that, and IMHO an issue.

First the issue:

Using (int type, int number) like in llGetInventoryName() forces an duplicate search.
I'll post the full explanation on mantis.

Second, my concern:

Description is a user-modifiable field. Actually, lot of scripters (including me) use it to pass additional values to scripts. So, this function is a really interesting workaround, but would not be 100% reliable to get landmark destination. (though I admit there is less chances to change desc of a landmark than other objects)
