get_steps_to() uses the built-in pathfinding to return a list of directions to follow for the entire path. In this way, a movable atom can cache its pathfinding and call get_step_to() less often.

global.path_to(source,target,max_distance)


This would return a list of all the turfs needed to reach the target, could support min and max distances? Would be useful for pathfinding so that we need not have to create a object and call multiple procs on it repeatedly.

This would surely help as a feature as it simplifies a lot.
