The authors could do a better job, but my understanding is basically that
there will be a list of named effects (many of which are parameterized),
any one or more of which any given improvement may invoke (all controlled
by a ruleset).

Yes.  It will have to.  Abandoning the AI is not an option.

Okay.  I didn't look too closely at it, but it looks like it is missing at
least the corresponding help text.

Also, could you attach your patches, rather than just pasting them into the
message body -- the patch got corrupted during transmission, and I couldn't
apply it.
