[I7-1457] [Mantis 1493] Rule for deciding concealed possessions do not affect visibility of container contents in locale descriptions

Reported by : otistdog

Description :

WWI 18.9 strongly implies that the rules for concealed possessions universally affect visibility of things, and, in fact, if a container is given an appropriate rule for deciding the concealed possessions, it can be made to act as though given contents are invisible.

However, the concealed content is still listed in the locale description of the container in question.

In the example below, the diamond should presumably not be visible in the locale description, to be consistent with efforts to interact with it.

Steps to reproduce :

"Problem Example" by "Otis"

Thieves' Den is a room.

An aquarium is a fixed in place container in Thieves' Den.

Some pebbles are in the aquarium.

Some water is in the aquarium. The indefinite article of the water is "some".

A goldfish is an animal in the aquarium.

A flawless diamond is in the aquarium.

Rule for deciding the concealed possessions of the aquarium (this is the diamonds are hard to spot in water rule):
    if the particular possession is the diamond and the diamond is in the aquarium and the water is in the aquarium:
        decide yes;
    otherwise:
        decide no.

test me with "look / x pebbles / x goldfish / x diamond / look / take pebbles / take diamond"
