Those scripts don't have to call query, but might need variable set by
query earlier in another file. It could be simply done that only some of
the scripts may modify the variables (by not storing any changes), but I
don't see a point of this.

As a punishment for missing PREPARE, I'll add it to
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/index.php?page=SpellFiles , where it's missing
too :)
