When user presses '/', pop up a meny asking what the user wants to
look at:
What do you want to look at:
a - something on the map
b - something you're carrying
c - something else
This replaces the "Specify unknown object by cursor?" -prompt,
while keepng backwards compatibility, and also allows querying
about items in the inventory.
The 'zdir' function parameter has the same name as 'zdir' global
variable, triggering a 'shadowing' warning. I had to read the 'if'
statement multiple times to convince myself it was doing what was
intended. It was, but I think this rewrite is easier to understand
(at least for my feeble reptilian brain).
I don't know who Tim Wright is, but his 15 mintues of fame has
lasted for at least a decade so I cut his comment out. (The 28.5
year old GAN one a dozen lines lower was a tempting target for
removal, but I managed to stop myself; otherwise it never ends.)
For those pro players who really want to try their hand
at that zen samurai, without needing to reroll thousands
of times to start with blindfold. Nudist starts without
any armor, and keeps tabs whether you wore any during
the game, for even more bragging rights.
Also makes the Book of the Dead readable even while
blind, for obvious reasons.
Instead of just "while helpless", the death reason will tell
more explicitly why the player was helpless. For example:
"while frozen by a monster's gaze"
This is Michael Deutschmann's use_darkgray -patch.
Adds a boolean option use_darkgray, settable in config file.
This patch has been in use on NAO for years, and I have heard
once someone say their terminal didn't support the dark gray
color.

This was addressed previously.

This addresses the flavorwise concern.
Restricting the text display only to the end of game disclose,
so it doesn't clutter the inventory during gameplay and so that
the readability of t-shirts is not given away.
Bag of tricks that had been used at least once was being described
as "empty" regardless of charge count, because it always fails the
Has_contents() test. After half this patch fixed that, it started
being flagged as "empty" as soon as the last charge was used rather
than after attempting to use it again after that, since 'cknown' was
being set whenever it was used. Only set that flag when applying
the bag has been observed to fail.
My dog bit an acid blob and triggered a crash, caught by SYSCF panictrace
but yielding confusing information. The backtrace included a call from
'rustm()+N' that turned out to be passivemm(), which was deferencing a
null pointer since no weapon was involved.

This addresses the "hiding under nothing" bug, but does not
address this flavor comment also included in the report:

This fixes the code violation, but the logic will now drop down to the
ghost/wraith/zombie code when that happens.
Is that desireable, or should something else happen (for variety)?
