!  The Parser routine is the heart of the parser.
!
!  It returns only when a sensible request has been made, and puts into the
!  "results" buffer:
!
!  Word 0 = The action number
!  Word 1 = Number of parameters
!  Words 2, 3, ... = The parameters (object numbers), but
!                    00 means "multiple object list goes here"
!                    01 means "special word goes here"
!
!  (Some of the global variables above are really local variables for this
!  routine, because the Z-machine only allows up to 15 local variables per
!  routine, and Parser runs out.)
!
!  To simplify the picture a little, a rough map of this routine is:
!
!  (A)    Get the input, do "oops" and "again"
!  (B)    Is it a direction, and so an implicit "go"?  If so go to (K)
!  (C)    Is anyone being addressed?
!  (D)    Get the verb: try all the syntax lines for that verb
!  (E)        Go through each token in the syntax line
!  (F)           Check (or infer) an adjective
!  (G)            Check to see if the syntax is finished, and if so return
!  (H)    Cheaply parse otherwise unrecognised conversation and return
!  (I)    Print best possible error message
!  (J)    Retry the whole lot
!  (K)    Last thing: check for "then" and further instructions(s), return.
!
!  The strategic points (A) to (K) are marked in the commentary.
!
!  Note that there are three different places where a return can happen.

!  NounDomain does the most substantial part of parsing an object name.
!
!  It is given two "domains" - usually a location and then the actor who is
!  looking - and a context (i.e. token type), and returns:
!
!   0    if no match at all could be made,
!   1    if a multiple object was made,
!   k    if object k was the one decided upon,
!   REPARSE_CODE if it asked a question of the player and consequently rewrote all
!        the player's input, so that the whole parser should start again
!        on the rewritten input.
!
!   In the case when it returns 1<k<REPARSE_CODE, it also sets the variable
!   length_of_noun to the number of words in the input text matched to the
!   noun.
!   In the case k=1, the multiple objects are added to multiple_object by
!   hand (not by MultiAdd, because we want to allow duplicates).
