Something from <Someone>'s list: some messages have hardcoded references
to "helmet" which sound strange when the character is wearing a hat or cap.
helm_simple_name() is comparable to the existing cloak_simple_name(). It
returns "helm" or "hat" depending upon whether the helmet provides the
same protection that yields the assorted repetitions of "fortunately,
you are wearing a hard helmet". This choice ends up categorizing elven
leather helm as a hat (which I think is ok given that its undiscovered
description is "leather hat"), contrary to <Someone>'s suggestion that the
distinction be made based on whether the helmet was made of cloth.
I started on this a year and a half ago but didn't commit it.
Unfortunately I don't remember why and haven't done any significant
additional work now--just recovered from some intervening bit rot and
confirmed that the patch as is seems to be working ok (in the trunk; the
branch side has not been tested). I suspect that I meant to look for
additional helmet messages which could benefit from conditional headgear
description. (Those "hard helmet" ones don't need it, although they
should perhaps be moved into a common routine instead of being replicated.)
