[Bug 1468743] [NEW] Feature Request: Hideable rooms
Public bug reported:
The current Mudlet codebase (2.1 release, 3.0.0 previews) do not have
the ability to "hide" rooms like, say, the TinTin++ MUD Client. A user
had inquired about this facility.

Whilst it would not be too hard to provide a boolean flag for a room in the TRoom class (or possibly from an implementation detail, there might be merit in doing so in the containing TArea - I have visions in the future of permitting a room to be in multiple Areas {it's coordinates then become an TArea property rather than a TRoom one}) - there might need to be a discussion about:
* whether a "hidden" room still has exits draw towards it, or if those need to be individually hidden as well
* under what situation the hide might need to be overridden and whether other aspects of the room need to be concealed
* as an open source project there is nothing to prevent code changes to "reveal" any hidden data that a MUD might wish to include in a pre-distributed map.
