If you didn't have Haakon around to tell you where to look, you could
use two helpful tools: the help and @grep commands.

>help $room
...
(4)  Looking

dark  - true => contents are not visible
ctype - 1..4 for four different styles of .contents lists

:match         (string)        => exit or object in room's .contents
:tell_contents (objects,ctype) - format objects according to ctype, tell player

l*ook
...

>@grep ctype in $room
Searching for verbs in $room containing the string "ctype" ...

#3:tell_contents [Haakon (#2)]:  ctype = args[2];
#3:look_self [Haakon (#2)]:  this:tell_contents(setremove(this.contents, player), this.ctype);
#3:tell_contents(old) [Haakon (#2)]:  ctype = args[2];
#3:examine_contents [Geust (#24442)]:    this:tell_contents(this.contents, this.ctype);

Total: 4 verbs.
