 *   TADS 3 Library - Exits Lister
 *   
 *   This module provides an automatic exit lister that shows the apparent
 *   exits from the player character's location.  The automatic exit lister
 *   can optionally provide these main features:
 *   
 *   - An "exits" verb lets the player explicitly show the list of apparent
 *   exits, along with the name of the room to which each exit connects.
 *   
 *   - Exits can be shown automatically as part of the room description.
 *   This extra information can be controlled by the player through the
 *   "exits on" and "exits off" command.
 *   
 *   - Exits can be shown automatically when an actor tries to go in a
 *   direction where no exit exists, as a helpful reminder of which
 *   directions are valid.
