description: |
  Look around the current room or examine a specific target.

  Usage: look, l
         look <target>

  Without a target, shows: room name, description, objects (with instance
  indices and depletion status), mobs (with HP and combat level), ground
  items (alphabetically sorted, with reservation info), exits, and other
  players.

  If you have set a custom map symbol for the room (see "help symbol"),
  the room name line shows it in dim brackets with its color, e.g.
  "Town Square (#1) [D]".

  Players are shown with their current action (e.g. "Bob is here, mining
  a copper rock [1]") or combat status ("Bob is here (fighting a man [2])").
  Instance indices appear only when multiple objects or mobs of the same
  type are present and differ in state.

  With a target, shows details about:
  - Mobs: stats and combat level
  - Objects: description and, with the depletion toggle on, timers
  - Items (ground or inventory): description and value
  - Players: stats, equipment, and description
  - Directions: shows the adjacent room as if you were there

  Use "toggle depletion" to show depletion and despawn timers on objects.
