Squeezing something (past tense squeezed)

Squeezing is an action which can conveniently vary from squeezing something hand-held, like a washing-up liquid bottle, right up to squeezing a pillar in a bear hug.

In the Standard Rules there are no carry out rules for this action because nothing in the standard Inform world model which reacts to it. The action is provided for authors to hang more interesting behaviour onto for special cases. A mildly fruity message is produced to players who attempt to squeeze people, which is blocked by a check squeezing rule.
