#become is a ZZT-OOP command that lets an object become a different kind of element.

#become kind

Providing an invalid kind will throw a Bad #BECOME error.

Unlike other commands, #become color object will always destroy and create a new stat, clearing the object's character and source code.
- The typical workaround for changing object colors is to use #change or #put instead.
