If there was a UI that was used to express you were at some particular
point in space, then tagging it with "pei" would be a perfectly
reasonable way to ask whether you were there.

There aren't any spatial points that are special enough across points
and general enough across people to have a UI assigned to express our
being there, and also it does not seem to be something humans feel
compelled to express.

Maybe a UI for "I'm here!" wouldn't be unreasonable. If there was such
a UI, we could use it to ask, although it would probably make more
sense as a COI. Let's say "bu'au" was such a COI. Then "bu'au pei
<name>" would be a good way to do a roll call.
