R=reserved for game engine
r=reserved by game designer (eg, for patch code)

I don't think that's the case, because it would have been quite
difficult to arrange.

That doesn't work in JSW64, because of the way cell classes are
done. Instead of checking the attribute against the room definition,
it looks the attribute up in an attribute<-->class mapping table.
Which means that, unlike in JSW and JSW128, a cell can't belong to
multiple classes.
