Most NetHack players have picked up on the fact that you can
easily distinguish between a fake amulet and the real thing
simply by trying to put it into a container. That's too easy.
The message was adjusted too, to make it seem less
like the objects have their own special will to resist, something
that a hunk of plastic is unlikely to have.

over the place.
Often they would use
"%ld zorkmid%s", amt, plur(amt)
but not consistently, so some of the hard-coded usage
could result in "1 zorkmids"
This adds the function
currency(long)
to return the name of the currency, either plural
or singular depending on the argument passed to it.
That eliminates the need for the extra %s in the
format string and the use of the plur() macro.
This adds the BUC-patch, except that it includes four separate choices for
blessed/cursed/uncursed/unknown. The patch only applies to full menu styles.
