implement a "/look_at" command which would take the output of player:get_look_dir(), as e.g. listed in bug reports (so i can tell what the player was looking at).

We already generate a "teleport to this place" command in the bugtracker additonal to the coordinates, so we can easily copy and past.

There even a "player look" table:

Player look:

{
	x = 0.23313282430172,
	y = -0.75972545146942,
	z = 0.60701429843903
}

We should - similar to the generated teleport command - add this to the report mod so that both teleport location AND look direction can easily be copied from the bugtracker.

Offtopic, but related due to command name collision:

There might also be a usecase for a /look_at_player command, which would turn staff in the right direction.

The bailiff has such a mechanic: https://gitea.your-land.de/your-land/yl_bailiff/src/branch/master/bailiff.lua#L9

In general, this sounds like a part of an API for The New Basic Game: your-land/administration#174
