The PR #402 might need an amendment.
When having a room with a "northeast" exit for instance, and not a "north" one. Typing "north" would send you "northeast" without any indication that you typed a specific different direction.
I would suggest to modify this so standard cardinal directions only respond to either a one or two letter abbreviation or the full name. Then we reserve fuzzy matching for custom exits, that we cannot predict abbreviations for.
