Prevent fractional/decimal manipulation of things about terminal.land HOT 3 CLOSED

I did not actualy duplicate anything (sadly). Being able to do this with a knife would be nice though

Related issue: you can try to take/drop 0 of something, and attempt to work with negative values as well. Not good. 😄

All fixed!

> DROP 0 PEARS

That would be pointless.

> DROP 0.5 PEARS

That would be impractical.

> DROP -1 PEARS

That would be impossible.

Fractional object support could be a thing at some point, but I'd want to do it right. I'm thinking of an object attribute that defines the unit quantity appropriate for the object, as well as the new object that is produced when the parent object is divided. Some examples:

Starting object: banana
Divided object: slice of banana
Supported unit quantity: 10 (I guess you could slice it more thinly, but we'd have to pick something)

Starting object: chocolate bar
Divided object: piece of chocolate
Supported unit quantity: 8

Starting object: sugar cube
Divided object: granule of sugar
Supported unit quantity: 1,000 (how many sugar granules are in a sugar cube?)

Lots more thought would have to go into this, of course, but this is some early thinking on one possible approach.
