The Great Item Name Changing Of 2015

So, apparently most of the items in the game are singular pronouns now!
- Items that were previously named <Substance> were changed to <Selection> of <Substance>, e.g. Rostygold - Piece of Rostygold, Incendiary Gossip - Scrap of Incendiary Gossip, Greyfields 1879 - Bottle of Greyfields 1879. This naming rule makes for the majority of the name changes, and some of affected items actually gained decent flavor as a result (the Rubbery chain in particular)
- Clothing that comes in pairs is now called <Pair> of <Clothing>.
- Items that were previously plural nouns were changed to singular nouns, e.g. Expedition Supplies - Expedition Supply, Favours in High Places - Favour in High Places
Some semi-obscure items were overlooked (as of the time of posting, Myrrh-Scented Roses and Correspondence Stones remain unchanged) and one particular example doesn't make much sense (Page of Collated Research when the image is quite clearly a volume), but overall this looks like a nice little update.

It's a "fistful" of surface currency now. Good choice.
Needs a "For a few surface currency more" storylet, and then maybe "The Magnanimous, the Heartless and the Rubbery"!

While we're talking about this, I think I'd find "Piece of Surface Currency" a lot less awkward than "Coin of Surface Currency".
