If I do a var file := ReadFile("::data/storage.txt") and my storage.txt is a large size like say 100 MB, am I taking up 100 MB of RAM?

I have thought about that. Of course "doing it myself" would mean handling the prefixes at any time stacks were created or unstacked. There's a big problem with that even if I had the time to handle that mess, though. The desc property is, yep, read only. Then I would have to turn to the name ...

Any time I create a new type of item and give it a desc like "unused bar of soap", it always shows up in game as "a unused bar of soap". I want the article there, and for stacking to remove it (which works fine), but it should be "an ...
