Emptying is an action applying to one thing.
Understand "empty [something]" as emptying.
Should the game choose emptying a container:
it is an excellent choice.
Should the game choose emptying a supporter:
it is an excellent choice.
Check emptying:
if the number of things in the noun is 0:
say "There's nothing to empty in [the noun]." instead;
if the noun is in a container (called the bucket):
try emptying the bucket instead;
if the noun is on a supporter (called the surface):
try emptying the surface instead.
Carry out emptying:
say "You remove [the list of things in the noun] from [the noun].";
repeat with x running through the list of things in the noun:
silently try taking x.
