Function to show listening objects

Description

Would it be possible to add a function that returns a list of all objects that would hear it when a given <object> makes a sound (like speaking, etc)? It would make it easier to do something like @hook 'say' or write custom speech commands; instead of just @pemit'ing or @message'ing lcon(%#), you could correctly send the message to everything that should hear it (audible exits, the location itself, etc).

Adding on: 

Such a function might be called sweep(), and might take
an optional argument of listen/command (defaulting to both),
and maybe an argument for room db# to allow a remote sweep.
