seekPreParserobject | newbie.t[896]

The StringPreparser and the TopicAction which follows are designed to deal with command like LOOK FOR X, FIND Y or SEARCH FOR Z. The complication is that in the standard library these are all forms of LOOK UP X, which prompt the response "What do you want to look that up in?". This is likely to confuse new players.

The StringPreparser checks to see if there's a Consultable in the current location. If so, then we use the standard library handling, on the assumption that the player is trying to looking something up in it. If not we change the command to SEEK X in order to invoke the new SeekAction defined below.
