Uncountable list grammar

Authoring Dialog
1

I have a minor grammatical correction for (is $). Currently if the head of a list is uncountable it produces sentences like “In the bottle are some water and some wine”. There ought to be a rule
(is [(uncountable $Head) | $]) (is $Head)

Also, I would like to second all the positive comments which have been made about the design of Dialog. Marrying inform and prolog was an inspired decision.

Actually, thinking about it again, any list of 2 or more more objects should use “is”. The rule should be: (is [$Head | [$ | $]]) (is $Head)

Edit: Another one is: (is (pair $)) is
