brainwash
=========
Modify the personality traits of the selected dwarf to match an idealised
personality - for example, as stable and reliable as possible to prevent
tantrums even after months of misery.

Usage:  ``brainwash <type>``, with one of the following types:

:ideal:     reliable, with generally positive personality traits
:baseline:  reset all personality traits to the average
:stepford:  amplifies all good qualities to an excessive degree
:wrecked:   amplifies all bad qualities to an excessive degree
