If I'm on, let's say, a couch, in an Inform game, and I type
LEAVE NOUN, where NOUN can be anything in the room, the game replies "You get
off the couch." It should, should it not, reply something similar to, "You
aren't inside or atop ", (the) noun, "!"? I mean, it doesn't make sense to
try exiting from an object inside of which the player is NOT, right? I've added the third line below: Then add entry 4 to Exit in English.h: Also, a change to the "exit" verb's definition (I've added the third line
here):

{ 1: "But you aren't in anything at the moment.";
2: "You can't get out of the closed ", (name) x1, ".";
3: print "You get ";
if (x1 has supporter) print "off "; else print "out of ";
print_ret (the) x1, ".";
4: print "But you aren't ";
if (x1 has supporter) print "on "; else print "in ";
print_ret (the) x1, ".";
}
Verb 'exit' 'out' 'outside'
