!   CheckOut.h
!       original 1.0  May00 by Roger Firth (roger.firth@tesco.net) for Inform 6
!
! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- !
!   Installation: add the line:
!
!       Include "CheckOut";
!
!   anywhere in your game AFTER the Include "Parser" statement.
!
! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- !
!   Implements a debugging verb CHECKOUT which attempts to test all your rooms
!   for asymmetric and one-way paths, on the basis that these /may/ represent
!   errors in setting up the inter-room connections.
!
!   Given two rooms Beach and Cliffs, the path between them is 'symmetric' if
!   you can move (for example) NORTH from the Beach to get to the Cliffs, and
!   then SOUTH from the Cliffs to return to the Beach. An 'asymmetric' path
!   would be (for example) NORTH from the Beach to the Cliffs, while SOUTHEAST
!   or WEST or DOWN (but not SOUTH) would take you back. Asymmetric paths are
!   reported only where no symmetric path exists; if SOUTH, SOUTHEAST, WEST and
!   DOWN all lead from the Cliffs to the Beach, no output is generated.
!
!   A one-way path is (for example) NORTH from Beach to Cliffs, with no path
!   returning to the Beach.
!
!   All of this works by analysing the properties N_TO, NE_TO ... and DOOR_TO.
!   Inform allows any of these to be a routine, but CheckOut has no way of
!   determining what such a routine might return, and so treats it as though
!   no exit was defined. Therefore, be prepared for some misleading reports.
!
!   You can define a list of rooms to be skipped when analysing the paths;
!   for example, a maze might deliberately contain many asymmetric paths which
!   you don't wish to report on. Include a line like this immediately before
!   you Include the file (don't forget the zero at the end of the list):
!
!       Array SkipRoom --> room1 room2 ... roomN 0;
