Have you tried aliasing attributes/properties? Maybe `#ATTRIBUTE tiny ALIAS
visited'. There shouldn't be a conflict of interests as visited is only used
for rooms and tiny is only used for manipulable objects. This being said I
think Jim Newland's size/volume properties solution was better than my tiny
attribute, but you can alias properties too.

It's best to look at parser.h first though, as some attributes/properties are
already aliased which could cause headaches.
