Item and equipment handling basics
==================================
There are various commands related to item/equipment handling, and some
of those share certain common features. At least "get"/"take", "drop",
"put" and "give" commands should support these common terms.
The item list specification can take a form like:
"[prefix [prefix]] - [, [prefix [prefix]
- ] [except [...]]"
For example something as complex as:
"all unkept armour, kept scroll 2, kept weapons except worn armours"
Typically the commands you use will be far simpler, but the system
is very flexible as demonstrated.
---| PREFIXES |----------------------------------------------------------
The following can be either unary terms OR prefixes to any of the
terms described in "items" section, for example "kept armours" or
"unkept items" or "all kept scroll", "unkept axe", "kept worn armours",
"all unkept eq", "unkept scroll 2", etc.
