Examining clothing from a distance #10701

Description

Examining people currently doesn't list the visible items they're wearing, unlike SS13. This is a difficult feature to live without since the use of small pixel art means it can be hard to tell what exactly is on someone's person, that their character IC would be able to identify.

Screenshots For example, SS13 implementation:

I personally like that one does not possess ability to precisely enumerate every worn item on person with single shift-click and instead has to rely on sprite (or strip menu, after doafter). Think "black gloves" vs validsalad (unless HoS or warden) "combat gloves". With no detail, it's something dark on character sprite. Or real insuls versus budget ones, which look identical.

Little ambiguity on character appearance is good, IMO.
