    Section: Introductory text for things

    Introductions allows us to write special introductory text that will appear the first time the player sees an object in a room description, like this:

        The introduction of the table is "In the corner is the table your aunt bought from the thrift store. The top surface of it is decoupaged with newspaper advertisements for organic produce. You can't eat a bowl of macaroni without being chided by images of alfalfa and bran."

    This text will appear in place of the initial appearance property or any other similar text that might otherwise introduce the table.
