removing (taking from)

remove X from Y (removing) takes an item out of a container or off a supporter, named source and all. Core grammar since ADR-230: remove X from Y, extract X from Y, and take X from Y, the last optionally with/using Z, a tool form whose named tool becomes a consulted command entity (the old orphan taking_with id was retired onto removing in the same pass). Success is semantically a take: the success event is taken, with the source recorded in the payload.

  A low chapel of niches and candle smoke.

create the reliquary
  a container
  scenery
  in the Crypt Chapel

  A gilt reliquary, its lid long lost.

create the stone bier

  A stone bier worn smooth at the edges.

create the ivory comb

create the fingerbone

  A saint's fingerbone, brown with age.

  phrase bone-sacred:
    The relic is not for the living to carry off.

create the linen shroud
  aka shroud

create the player

The player sees:

> remove the comb from the reliquary
You take the ivory comb from the reliquary.

> remove the shroud from the bier
You take the linen shroud from the stone bier.

> remove the fingerbone from the reliquary
The relic is not for the living to carry off.

Each source kind renders its own success key, and the fingerbone's taking guard stops REMOVE-FROM cold: naming the source dodges nothing.

	remove (`removing-*`)
Refusals	`no_target` · `no_source` · `already_have` · `not_in_container` / `not_on_surface` · `container_closed` · `cannot_take` (carrying capacity) · `nothing_to_remove` (`remove all from X` with nothing eligible)
Success	`removed_from` (a container) · `removed_from_surface` (a supporter)
Events	`taken` (source in the payload)

Interceptors: the item slot consults on removing it and then on taking it, in that order; the source consults on removing it only, and so does an explicitly named tool, after item and source. As with putting/inserting, register per entity under one gerund. Bare remove X still means undressing.
