Command: look/examine - shows the room resp. examines something/someone closer

Description:
	'look' is the standard command to look at items. 'look' without
	arguments shows your environment, the room you are in.

	With 'look at <item>' you can take a closer look at objects in your
	environment or your inventory.

	And 'items' can be items you see in the room obviously, but also
	living beings (other adventurers and "monsters") AND items mentioned
	in the description in a room.

	You can also look at "item number X" - see Examples: below and 'help
	numbering'.

	And 'examine' is synonymous with 'look at'.
	
Syntax:
	look
	look at <item>
	examine <item>
	look at <being>
	examine <being>

Examples:
	look
	look at watch
	look at axe 2
	examine sword
	examine knife 3
	examine susan

Note:
	'look' can be abbreviated to 'l', 'lo', etc. 'examine' to 'x' and
	'ex', 'exa', etc.

	Nemesis has some gamewide descriptions of things that seem not to
	have a particular description. For instance you can examine whispers,
	or a smile.
