Cute.
This seems fiddly to handle better; maybe you'd have to have a new
PERFORM_DELETION_* flag that says to ignore "missing" objects; so when
you go from shdepDropOwned, you pass that flag all the way down to
doDeletion(), so the objtype-specific function is called with
"missing_ok", and ignore if the object has already gone away. That's
tedious because none of the Remove* functions have the concept of
missing_ok.
