I think the solution to the problem eracc described on irc is not new body
spots, but just a new type. I don't think you can wear gloves and
gauntlets at the same time, or a robe over a breastplate. (You can wear a
breastplate over a shirt, and usually you'll want to, but for game
purposes, let's say that's, er, a different kind of shirt.)
Then flags like can_use_armor only need to check the type -- which I
believe is the way it is already.
