Notes
- Palettes are often in front of windows, even if they are not visible!
- By default, Player matches only the number of characters specified in the verb parameter. This feature has the benefit of ignoring trailing punctuation, but will occasionally find a false match.
- By default, name matching is not case sensitive.
