#12 issue when reporting that an object is destroyed

[Lee Harr]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 24 ``` Here's what it prints:

drink from cup

You drink water from the cup. water is destroyed.

As you can see this is not quite as it should.

The ideal would be something like: The water is consumed.

I've been told that in English consumed means completely used up, but in other languages it doesn't mean it's all gone, so I'm asking myself if just using 'consumed' is enough to convey that the item is no more.

The way this could be implemented which comes to mind right now is to have the engine check if the item has an attribute 'consume()' ( which is more generic than drink and could be applied to more things. )

We should be able to support fire and other 'consumables' with this.

```

'All the water is consumed' might be a better alternative, specially for the ESL folks. ```
