• Example: * Discover Yourself - Introduces actions to the player via bolded text

This extension allows us to write repeat phrases that step through a game's actions. The most general runs through every action defined in the game. Incidentally, we can also ask if the action is out-of-world.
    Instead of thinking:
        say "The possibilities are practically endless.";
        repeat with possibility running through every action begin;
            say "[The possibility][if the possibility is out of world] (out of world)[end if].";
        end repeat.

A second form steps through a kind of action.
    Kissing is unmaidenly behavior.
    Touching is unmaidenly behavior.
    Drinking is unmaidenly behavior.
    Accusing of is unmaidenly behavior.
    
    Instead of asking someone about "etiquette/manners":
        say "There are some things that a lady should never do. ";
        repeat with taboo running through every kind of unmaidenly behavior begin;
            say "[one of]Like[or]Or[stopping] [taboo]. ";
        end repeat;


Remember that these deal with abstract actions, not with specific examples of actions. (Specific examples are called stored actions.) So, if we wish to insert these into a table, or pass them to To phrases, we use the action-name type.
    A characteristic is a kind of value. Some characteristics are inquisitive, socialized.
    
    Table of Traits & Moods

	reaction		trait
	an action-name	a characteristic
	the saying sorry action	socialized
	the asking it about action	inquisitive

We may ask if a kind of action "involves" an abstract action.
    let taboo be the reaction entry;
    if the taboo involves undoglike behavior, say "But if you do this, you'll tip them off that you're not really a dog.";


Finally, and least importantly, we may convert abstract actions to and from numbers.
    say "The 5th action is [5 as an action-name]. The Removing It From action is action #[the removing it from action as a number].";


If we include the extension Editable Stored Actions, we can directly modify the action-name part of a stored action.

    Instead of examining:
        let the suggested command be the action of examining the noun;
        say "A few things to try with the [noun]: ";
        repeat with possibility running through the usual I-F actions begin;
            change the action-name part of the suggested command to the possibility;
            say "[one of][or], [stopping][the suggested command]";
        end repeat;
        say ".";
