Can containers be given a flag that allows you to differentiate between multiple containers?

look 1.pack
look 2.pack
look 3.pack
look held.pack
look used.pack
look carried.pack

And so on and so forth with #s taking precedence over status. I really believe this'll help with some annoyances and confusion on the MUD with regards to sorting items and gear and whatnot.

hold pack, get all 1.pack, rem pack, drop pack, put all pack. Or rem pack, same thing.

There's been plenty of times where I've been wandering the world and found random backpacks or sacks on the ground. In order to see what's inside them, I currently have to

remove pack | Remove my currently worn pack
get pack | Get the pack off the ground
look in 1.pack | Figure out whether this is the new pack
look in 2.pack | Or this one is.

Then I have to get the items I want from the new pack, place them in the old pack, drop whatever one the new pack is, and wear the old one.

It'd be much simpler to

look in here.pack

OR

look in 2.pack

The MUD would read the status of the pack being worn as 'used' and the pack on the ground as 'here.' Used.pack would also be 1.pack so when you look in 2.pack it comes up as here.pack. Would save on a lot of back-and-forth between the MUD and the Player.
