Part Inserting stuff

To decide whether (insertee - a thing) is too large to insert:
    if the insertee is:
        -- the encyclopedia:
            decide yes;
        -- the whiskey bottle:
            decide yes;
    if the insertee is bulky:
        decide yes;
    decide no.

Before inserting something into a normal-sized container when the noun is too large to insert:
    say "It doesn't fit." instead.
    
[the next rule is crafted basically to make it work so that if you try to put something in the drinking glass when there's a container (i.e. the tin foil) inside it, instead of getting a "no more room" message, it just puts the thing inside the other container.]
Before inserting something into a container (called the original box):
    if a container is in the original box and the carrying capacity of the original box is 1:
        let the inner box be a random container in the original box;
        say "([the inner box])[command clarification break]";
        try inserting the noun into the inner box instead;
    continue the action.
