I recently noticed this myself. It is fairly useful to have exit descriptions
but not be able to actually walk in that direction. For my mud, I created
room vnum 2 which is an IMPROOM, etc., such that mortals may not walk there.
Using "show errors" I've gone through and changed the exits that lead to
0 to lead to 2 instead. The end result: nothing different from what I had
before except only true errors (as opposed to "i meant that") appear in
"show errors" now.
