Again, fixeditems are _not_ listed in TADS. Not by inventory, not by look-
at, or by anything else. fixeditems have their isListed property set to
nil, so listcontgen (which is the basis for all other list-printing
functions) does _not_ print them.

This is the standard technique for body parts in TADS AIF. It works for
non-adult bodyparts as well.
