[inform] shouldn't "get out of" be in the grammar.h?

I find myself tacking a

Extend "get" * "out" "of" noun -> Exit;

in all my files... it seems to me isn't it a fairly common statement? For
example in the Toyshop to say "get out of the car", and so on.

Then of course there is "get off OF the chair"... perhaps the rest of the
world doesn't use the term "of"?? Of course in adventure games we like to
talk like tarzan speaks to save effort most of the time.. but it seems to
me that the basic grammar library should support these (seemingly to me)
quite common, sensible, and natural (to me?) sentence constructs.

I know one problem (potentially) can be resulting crazy synonyms... but in
this case it's not bad... of course there's some pretty silly ones extant
in the library already... but nothing functionally very noticable.. not
many people will notice "hold maracas off the counter"...

Any thoughts?
