          Get the replacement of one syntactic pattern. The pattern is
          on the form:

                  "function[:filename][|arg1|arg2....|argN]"

          The returned value can be of any type.

          Note that both object and arguments are marked optional with
          the brackets and that the brackets are not included in the
          actual pattern.

          This is usually used to support 'value by function call' in
          the mudlib.  It is wise to set the effuserid of the object
          to 0 before using process_value as any function in any
          object can be called with almost any arguments.
