!   To simplify the picture a little, a rough map of the main routine:
!
!   (A) Get the input, do "oops" and "again"
!   (B) Is it a direction, and so an implicit "go"?  If so go to (K)
!   (C) Is anyone being addressed?
!   (D) Get the verb: try all the syntax lines for that verb
!   (E) Break down a syntax line into analysed tokens
!   (F) Look ahead for advance warning for multiexcept/multiinside
!   (G) Parse each token in turn (calling ParseToken to do most of the work)
!   (H) Cheaply parse otherwise unrecognised conversation and return
!   (I) Print best possible error message
!   (J) Retry the whole lot
!   (K) Last thing: check for "then" and further instructions(s), return.
!
!   The strategic points (A) to (K) are marked in the commentary.
!
!   Note that there are three different places where a return can happen.

!  NounDomain does the most substantial part of parsing an object name.
!
!  It is given two "domains" - usually a location and then the actor who is
!  looking - and a context (i.e. token type), and returns:
!
!   0    if no match at all could be made,
!   1    if a multiple object was made,
!   k    if object k was the one decided upon,
!   REPARSE_CODE if it asked a question of the player and consequently rewrote
!        the player's input, so that the whole parser should start again
!        on the rewritten input.
!
!   In the case when it returns 1<k<REPARSE_CODE, it also sets the variable
!   length_of_noun to the number of words in the input text matched to the
!   noun.
!   In the case k=1, the multiple objects are added to multiple_object by
!   hand (not by MultiAdd, because we want to allow duplicates).

! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
!  The Adjudicate routine tries to see if there is an obvious choice, when
!  faced with a list of objects (the match_list) each of which matches the
!  player's specification equally well.
!
!  To do this it makes use of the context (the token type being worked on).
!  It counts up the number of obvious choices for the given context
!  (all to do with where a candidate is, except for 6 (animate) which is to
!  do with whether it is animate or not);
!
!  if only one obvious choice is found, that is returned;
!
!  if we are in indefinite mode (don't care which) one of the obvious choices
!    is returned, or if there is no obvious choice then an unobvious one is
!    made;
!
!  at this stage, we work out whether the objects are distinguishable from
!    each other or not: if they are all indistinguishable from each other,
!    then choose one, it doesn't matter which;
!
!  otherwise, 0 (meaning, unable to decide) is returned (but remember that
!    the equivalence classes we've just worked out will be needed by other
!    routines to clear up this mess, so we can't economise on working them
!    out).
