Examining something (requires light) (past tense examined)
The act of looking closely at
something. Note that the noun could be either a direction or a thing, which
is why the Standard Rules include the 'examine directions rule' to deal with
directions: it simply says 'You see nothing unexpected in that direction.'
and stops the action. (If you would like to handle directions differently,
list another rule instead of this one in the carry out examining rules.)
Some things have no description property, or rather, have only a blank text
as one. It's possible that something interesting may be said anyway (see
the rules for directions, containers, supporters and devices), but if not,
we give up with a bland response. This is done by the examine undescribed
things rule.
