Kitchens, workshops, and the like can be rather spammy with all of the items required. Plants are now free to retool I believe, but they were previously an issue as well.
There may also be other cases when you'd like to group a bunch of things with differing short/long descriptions together.
I had a thought for a command to temporarily set the long description in cases such as these, until they're picked up again. This would be quite similar to how the drop (message) command works, but instead of appending to the short description, would change the whole thing. This would be preferable to permanently changing the long description as is commonly done now, as the items could then be moved without having a no longer relevant description when dropped elsewhere.
The syntax could be:
tidy (item) (description)
It would only target items already on the ground.
Using tidy with the same description on different items in a location will group them together into one stack, as changing the permanent long does with tool.
