DEPRECATED
SYNOPSIS
string make_shared_string (string str)

DESCRIPTION
Puts <str> in the table of shared strings of the game.

If the string is used by several variables/objects this
saves memory. Keys of alists and mappings are always shared
strings.

In LDMud 3.3, this function is no longer necessary: strings
are shared as much as possible anyway, and the driver automatically
converts untabled strings into tabled strings after some time.

HISTORY
Introduced in LDMud 3.2.6; following a suggestion from TubMud.
Deprecated in LDMud 3.3.531 .
