Summary: skillmod("x") JEP function

Initial Comment:
We need a JEP function to get the sum of modifier for a given skill.

SKILLMOD("Intimidate") (it's not call a skill bonus in the rules) 
would return the total modifier for the listed bonus.

This is needed for complete functionality of splitting a skill into 2, 1 
for GUI and 1 for output. We need this to transfer the skill mod 
from one to the other. There already is a variable to transfer the 
ranks.

have you tried (skillinfo or SKILLINFO--code supports both):
skillinfo("modifier","Intimidate")

// ranks taken in skill
skillinfo("rank","Intimidate")

// rank + bonus ranks (racial, class, etc. bonuses) + modifier
skillinfo("total","Intimidate")

// rank + bonus ranks (racial, class, etc. bonuses)
skillinfo("totalrank","Intimidate")

These have been valid JEP expressions since 2005/2/11.

It would be very simple to add more cases to the current code.

We need:

skillmod("x") returns a skills modifiers not including ranks or stat

skillrank("x") returns total ranks

skilltotal("x") returns total modifier

Currently we are using SKILLRANK=name, SKILLTOTAL=name (which are 
not JEP functions) and SKILL.<name>.MISC (which is an OS token) to 
get by. We'd probably have this in by now if there was not so much static 
about this. Really what we need to do is decide to fully commit to JEP or 
not. If we do we need to set up all our hardcoded variables as JEP 
functions and convert the repository, as long as we keep mixing JEP and 
stuff from the old parser we are going to continiue to get bit. The bug about 
boolean expressions failing was not that they failed it's just that they used 
CL in them, an old style var and JEP didn't parse it.

We are doing JEP functions in all lowercase, last I checked.

What exactly do we mean by skillmod?  Ranks, other TYPE 
bonuses?  Everything but STAT????
