Emote with the Flip command

With the increase in the use of throwing weapons it would be nice to have something like:
flip <targ> <obj> <emote>. This would bring it in line with how commands like 'apply', 'inflict', and 'smoke' work today.

So right now the log reads (note this is a mock up based on a real log):

[RPxp: Fair Free: 28233] [HP:perfect MV:rested P:walk] (action)(bathed)(Diremote)(R)
You flip a steel throwing axe into the air, and catch it as it begins its descent.

[RPxp: Fair Free: 28233] [HP:perfect MV:rested P:walk] (action)(bathed)(Diremote)(R)
Gerolf hefts and flips his axe into the air an catches it smoothly before waggling his eyebrows at Kinaed in silent response to her loving gaze at her throwing dagger.

What I am proposing would return something more like:

Gerolf flips a steel throwing axe into the air, and catch it as it begins its descent. "See," he says to Kinaed as he tosses it, "I can flip my axe too." [Flip]

Or on the off chance you miss:

Gerolf flip a steel throwing axe into the air, but fails to catch it as it begins its descent. "See," he says to Kinaed as he tosses it, "I can flip my axe too." [Flip]

<Insert appropriately sarcastic response to Gerolf's failure>

It just seems clunky to have to use the command and then emote the results when we have other commands where the emote is already embedded in the command.

Flip isn't really made for "aggressive" actions. It's tossing an item to someone in the hopes they can catch it. That said, letting it emote could be nice anyway.
