Is there any way to redefine how Inform prints out comments like (when 
you examine a room but not the objects within):

A chair (on which is a harp seal)

I'd prefer to format these differently (the brackets are unnatural and
makes the game less like an interactive novel). 

It gets ridiculous if theres an object on the seal's lap. Then you would 
have:

A chair (on which is a harp seal (on which is a toy locomotive))

Gahh!!

I'd prefer something like:

Theres a chair in the corner and Glory Be! A seal hanging onto a toy 
locomotive like his life depended on it..
