[I7-1446] [Mantis 1482] When pushing something between rooms, the pushed thing is not included in the locale description of the arrival room #638

Reported by : otistdog

Description :

Pretty much as explained in the title. The example code demonstrates this.

Naively, one might expect that the thing being pushed would be treated as being in the location when describing the new room, since it came along with the player. It is described normally on subsequent looking actions.

Steps to reproduce :

"Example" by "Otis"

West End of Corridor is a room.

East End of Corridor is east of West End of Corridor.

A tea cart is in West End of Corridor. It is pushable between rooms.

test me with "look / push cart east / look"

Comment by graham :
This is a matter of taste, really. While still part of the being-pushed action, the tea cart is part of the player's entourage, like his/her possessions. I'm going to leave it be.
