Taking off something (past tense taken off)

The Standard Rules give Inform only a simple model of clothing. A thing can be worn only if it has the either/or property of being 'wearable'. (Typing a sentence like 'Mr Jones wears the Homburg hat.' automatically implies that the hat is wearable, which is why we only seldom need to use the word 'wearable' directly.) There is no checking of how much or how little any actor is wearing, or how incongruous this may appear: nor any distinction between under or over-clothes.

When an article of clothing is taken off, it becomes a thing directly carried by its former wearer, rather than being (say) dropped onto the floor.
