Simple syntax for a list with "or"?

[Zed (Zed Lopez)]

Narrator’s voice: Two years earlier…

Putting "or" in a list instead of "and"

I have text saying, for instance, “you can move your king to b8, c8, c7 and c6.” But it would technically be more grammatically accurate to say “you can move your king to b8, c8, c7 or c6.” So I have this code comparing the shorthand “list of adjacent rooms” with something longer. But what I’m wondering is, is there shorthand Inform 7 that says “[list of adjacent rooms with conjunction = or]”? every turn: say "[list of adjacent rooms]."; let x be number of adjacent rooms; let count be 0; r…

Lab is a room.

To say or-list (l - list of values):
  now or-not-and is true;
  say l;
  now or-not-and is false.

or-not-and is initially false.

L is initially {1 , 2, 3};

For issuing the response text of the list writer internal rule response (C) when or-not-and is true: say " or ".

when play begins:
  say "[or-list L]".

Edited: Actually, this is less ugly:

list-conjunction is initially "and".

To say (l - list of values) with conjunction (t - text):
  let backup be list-conjunction;
  now list-conjunction is t;
  say l;
  now list-conjunction is backup.

To say or-list (l - list of values):
  say l with conjunction "or";

For issuing the response text of the list writer internal rule response (C): say " [list-conjunction] ".
