There's a problem with jumping to new Topics. I got confused, as usual, and added Quip dialogue pairs to a Topic I was jumping to. Which -- I don't think it ever prints the dialogue pair if it jumps to a new branch like that. So then I thought, ok, I'm supposed to just make a Topic object a basically blank declaration whose purpose is to be the parent of some new Quip options. Except when I did that, it then still didn't print the dialogue, because now it's one menu removed.
When there's a JumpTo point, it should -- hmm. I guess it's supposed to do a JumpTo after it's already printed some dialogue, which means you selected a menu option. It prints the dialogue pair, and then if there's a JumpTo this will print a new menu of choices next time from that new Topic. But I was trying to do a special case (actually something I might want to do fairly often), which was that a certain Topic (or Quip) was available early in the menu tree, then disappeared when you followed a branch for a while, then reappeared later (due to a JumpTo call). So it needed to be both a Topic and a normal Quip at the same time, and I guess that just doesn't make enough sense. Is there a way to sensibly handle all cases like this, or do I have to add redundant identical copies of Quips if I want them to show up twice in the menu?
Actually no, that's not a good solution, because I want the whole tree of subclips from that Quip to be intact whether you choose it earlier or choose it later. So I really need to think about how this will work.
