-The original fix in 3.6.0 still allowed a slightly different exploit with the same results, relying on the fact that formatting (capitalization and article placement) is corrected only for the actual type -- if naming the item in all lowercase, the exploit still works. Similarly, if using the correct capitalization but dropping the article (e.g. naming a [[gray stone]] "Heart of Ahriman" instead of "[[The Heart of Ahriman]]"), the missing article will be inserted only if the type matches the artifact.

 NetHack 3.0.0 lacked an artifact marker on items, but instead checked the name and object base type of an item to determine whether it is an artifact; this allowed naming Sting or Orcrist to work, but the game had to forbid naming attempts that would create other artifacts. In the code:
