 Whenever i read about people complaining about 'the classics' text
 adventures it was about 'guess the verb' or 'guess the object'.


 I'd love if optionally these classics could have a list of word
 combinations that lead to not 'i don't know' generic responses depending
 on room and the game engine could autocomplete - and show the
 possibilities - in each different room.

 I'm aware that this is a lot of work that requires a lot of special case
 code for each engine and which some engines might not make possible at
 all, but trying would be great, and if for instance a common engine like
 ADRIFT, MAGNETIC or ZCODE did it successfully and generically it would be
 the greatest usability jump these games ever had (leading them to around
 the level of Legend Entertainment 'mixed' parser/gui games).

 I only opened this ticket because i searched for 'auto-complete' and
 'autocomplete' and there was no duplicate, which i find weird because it's
 such a obvious enhancement. If there is a issue for this already, please
 close this.
