PUT X INTO X produces "You can't see any such thing"
when the intended response is "You can't put something inside itself".
Similarly PUT ALL BUT X INTO X produces "You can't see any such thing".
After applying patch L61023 which affects the choice of preposition,
this also affects PUT X IN X and PUT ALL BUT X IN X. MULTIEXCEPT is supposed to exclude the indirect object because it is
not marked as 'good' (DM4 p.241), rather than exclude it from the match list altogether. Remove the first line of code in ScopeWithin_O (about line 3138 of
parserm.h)
