Infer "your" as indefinite article? #12

@rockwalrus

Description

@rockwalrus

Inform has some built-in behavior around the word your in the source text that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere (see #11). It treats the object as properly-named. But putting "your" in the printed name is perhaps not the most judicious choice.

See this example:

Your car is closed and enterable.
>enter car
You can't get into the closed your car.

Compare this to the result when "your" is treated like an indefinite article, akin to your local vicar:

>enter car
You can't get into the closed car.
