While I definitely agree this would be a much cleaner implementation,
one problem I can think of off the top of my head is with things such
as 'look at taran's coat'. I guess this could still be handled as you suggest,
but it seems like it would be duplicating a lot of code already in
match_environment(). I honestly don't know what else uses match_environment
(though I suppose I should check that out), so I guess my approach could be
breaking things I'm not thinking of.
