It shouldn't be too hard to handle. There's a couple of ways I can think
of off-hand:
- always try the whole phrase first, then try it using the "from" rule.
(E.g., if someone "look at man from uncle", the parser should try
"look at (man from uncle)" before "look at (man) from (uncle)".)
- try both ways, and do whichever one makes a valid command. If they
*both* do, you've got ambiguity. How you want to resolve it is up to
you. (e.g., "get sword from castille". Try both "get (sword) from
(castille)" and "get (sword from castille)" to see if you can find
matching objects. If there's no "castille" present, but there is a
"sword from castille", this will result in the second version being
used.
