Guidebook update: map display of mons and objs
Mostly add a paragraph clarifying the classification of WONTFIX for
a reported bug ('I' unseen monster clobbers remembered object at the
location). It felt like it needed a parallel paragraph for monsters.

Monsters (a generic reference which includes humans and pets) are only

shown while they can be seen or otherwise sensed.

Moving to a location where you can't see or sense a monster any more

However, if you encounter a monster which you can't see or sense--
|
||||
perhaps it is invisible and has just tapped you on the noggin--
|
||||
a special ``remembered, unseen monster'' marker will be displayed at
|

the location where you think it is. That will persist until you have
|
||||
proven that there is no monster there, even if the unseen monster
|
||||
moves to another location or dies.

Normally, if you have seen an object at a particular map location and
|
||||
move to another location which can't directly see that object any
|
||||
more, if will continue to be displayed on your map.
|
||||
That remains the case even if it is not actually there any more--

perhaps a monster has picked it up or it has rotted away--

until you can see or feel that location again.

One notable exception is that if the object gets covered by the
|

``remembered, unseen monster'' marker and that marker is later removed
|

after you've verified that no monster is there, you will forget that
|
||||
there was any object there regardless of whether the unseen monster
|
||||
actually took the object.
|

If the object is still there, then once you see or feel that location

again you will re-discover the object and resume remembering it.
