- added "debug" command to debug environment settings

- changed the object/interface system to use a new way of calling, giving
    up the numerical object ID. This was necessary as we needed more
    extensibility for third-party modules (which don't play at all with the
    previous fixed object ID). This is stage work for the object loader.
    Please note that I needed to change the object (de)serializer, I can't
    outrule that I have introduced bugs there.
