add_to_scope of parentless object causes error
Submitted by: Emerick Rogul     Appeared in: Library 6/11 or before     Fixed in: -
Problem

Consider an object which has no parent, and is brought into scope by an add_to_scope property. An attempt to take that object causes error messages:

  [** Programming error: tried to test "has" or "hasnt" of nothing **]

  [** Programming error: tried to test "has" or "hasnt" of nothing **]
  That's hardly portable.
Solution (by Andreas Hoppler)

To suppress the error messages, change AttemptToTakeObject( ) in verblib.h:

  if (i && i ~= ancestor && (i has container || i has supporter))
