I've stumbled on a slight problem in the
Inform library when dealing with inherited describe properties. Since describe is an additive property (which has me scratching my head
as to why, to be honest), any new describe routines are stored as an
array in a class' instance. This causes an error (well, only the Nitfol
interpreter caught it, as it's the only one being that strict about
things) when such a describe routine is run. The fix was to replace the
following in Verblibm: with This occurs three times, it appears.
