thereafter read. Most of these changes are just removal of pointless
stuff or trivial reorganisations; one change is actually substantive,
and fixes a bug in Keen's clue selection (the variable 'bad' was
unreferenced not because I shouldn't have set it, but because I
_should_ have referenced it!).

state is in a solved position, and a midend function wrapping it.
(Or, at least, a situation in which further play is pointless. The
point is, given that game state, would it be a good idea for a front
end that does that sort of thing to proactively provide the option to
start a fresh game?)

_conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent
to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on
a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it
might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly
rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu
item to be greyed out depending on the game_params.
To do this I've introduced a new backend function
(can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend
field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter
will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front
end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the
inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to
update their front end.
As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current
games can still either copy always or copy never.
