Version 1.5 (March 2002)

The road to brevity is via solecism and imprecision.

Library objects
---------------

`compass` - A `container` object holding the twelve direction objects
`d_obj` `e_obj` `in_obj` `n_obj` `ne_obj` `nw_obj` `out_obj` `s_obj`
`se_obj` `sw_obj` `u_obj` `w_obj`.

`LibraryMessages` - If defined (between Includes of `Parser` and
`VerbLib`), changes standard library messages:

    Object  LibraryMessages
      with  before [;
                action : "string";
                action : "string";
                action : switch (lm_n) {
                    value : "string";
                    value : "string ",(a) lm_o,".";
                    ...
                    }
                ...
                ];

`selfobj` - The default player object. Avoid: use instead the `player`
variable, which usually refers to `selfobj`.

`thedark` - A pseudo-room which becomes the `location` when there is
no light (although the player object is not moved there).
