Does anyone have any recommendations for a system to do
menu-driven conversations in the style of Rameses or BAP?
phtalkoo.h looks more geared to "known list of topics"
than menu-mazes, if you know what I mean, and I'd prefer
a system like altmenu that uses object hierarchies to
build the conversations anyway.

I'm partway through coding my own but it dawned on me
that somebody must have done this already, but the only
other thing I see in inform/library/contributions is a
converse.h that looks like it uses altmenu for its display,
which I assume means it's fullscreen instead of inline.
