Standard actions concerning the actor's vision
Looking , Examining , Looking under , Searching , Consulting it about
Looking under something (requires light) (past tense looked under)
The standard Inform world
model does not have a concept of things being under other things, so this
action is only minimally provided by the Standard Rules, but it exists here
for traditional reasons (and because, after all, LOOK UNDER TABLE is the
sort of command which ought to be recognised even if it does nothing useful).
The action ordinarily either tells the player he finds nothing of interest,
or reports that somebody else has looked under something.
The usual way to make this action do something useful is to write a rule
like 'Instead of looking under the cabinet for the first time: now the
player has the silver key; say ...' and so on.
