/* This code is responsible for the examine tab. When someone examines something, it copies the examined object's description_info,
description_fluff, and description_antag, and shows it in a new tab.
In this file, some atom and mob stuff is defined here. It is defined here instead of in the normal files, to keep the whole system self-contained.
This means that this file can be unchecked, along with the other examine files, and can be removed entirely with no effort.
