Inform lib 5/12 ambiguity

Changes.txt mentions a new system for Ask,Tell,etc. when dealing with
animate creatures or talkable objects, but it doesn't go into detail how
it works. Only that it uses ConTopic. So now how does one deal with
this?

... life [;
Ask: .. ????
],

This is a good idea, though. I was damned sick of the parser not
knowing how to deal with 'ask fred about the car', but instead you had
to type 'ask fred about car'.

P.S., when will the new complete documentation be released? There are
just so many bits and pieces and neat tidbits that the current
doc. doesn't cover.
