The Inform library's default responses exhibit the following flaw: That should be "You can't contain things." The problem can be traced to the PSN__ routine in parserm.h, which contains
the line: In this particular case, "yourself" is not the appropriate word at all, and
should be capitalized. Add a constant such as YOU__TX to English.h. When CDefart(player) is called,
print this constant out. Using Cdefart implies that we are at the beginning
of a sentence, where we probably don't want the reflexive pronoun "yourself".
