Personally, I find it fascinating to ask which rooms connect TO a
given room; indeed, having a program to tell you that is very useful
when you're trying to ascertain whether a given room (or part of a
room) is reachable. That's why I wrote SPECSAISIE RoomReachJSW.

In the Photos section of this Group, there is a folder "Left Square
Bracket" where Stuart J. Hill imagines what it would have looked like
had Matthew done as you suggest.
