Is there a built-in way to get a room's relative direction?

An implementation:

To say (place - a room) direction:
	repeat with way running through directions:
		if place is the room way from the location:
			say way;
			stop;
	say "<<invalid direction>>".

Now I can write say "The Apiary is to the [Apiary direction]."
(Though the fact that this is a partial function makes me gag a bit.) It just seemed useful enough that I might be missing an more idiomatic way of doing this.

Yes, “best route from the location to Apiary”.

Thanks, much more succinct. :slight_smile:
