The sky is inky black on every planet (by design) #22

The default response to "LOOK UP" is always that "The sky is an inky black." This seems odd, particularly i the Cleveland area of the game since there's no indication that it takes place at night.

This is handled by V-LOOK-UP:

<ROUTINE V-LOOK-UP ()
     <COND (<PRSO? ,ROOMS>
        <COND (<EQUAL? ,HERE ,WELL-BOTTOM>
               <TELL ,YOU-SEE " a dot of light." CR>)
              (<IN-CATACOMBS>
               <TELL ,ONLY-BLACKNESS>)
              (<FSET? ,HERE ,INDOORSBIT>
               <PERFORM ,V?EXAMINE ,CEILING>
               <RTRUE>)
              (T
               <TELL "The sky is an inky black." CR>)>)
           (T
        <PERFORM ,V?LOOK-INSIDE ,PRSO>
        <RTRUE>)>>

I see no indication that there was ever any further text here that was cut for space. So I guess it's by design, and probably not something that should be fixed.
