Adventuron: dealing with synonymous commands in match statements

Authoring Adventuron

Is is possible to deal with synonymous command phrases in the same match statement in Adventuron?

I mean, for instance: I want ‘open bottle’ and ‘unscrew cap’ to have the same result. Ideally, I’d do something like:

: match “unscrew cap”||"open bottle {
: if (is_carried “bottle”) {
: print "You open the bottle by unscrewing the cap
}
}

…rather than having separate match statements for the two command phrases and then duplicating the rest of the code in each. But I can’t figure out a way to do that.

Semi colon acts as OR in match statements.

: match "unscrew cap;open bottle" {
   : if (is_carried “bottle”) {
      : print "You open the bottle by unscrewing the cap.";
   }
}

Easy! Thanks Chris.
