Area density?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear an area with density=1 used to block dense mob entry.
        
mob
    density= 1
area
    dense 
        density = 1

Placing a section of area/dense on the map does not stop the mob from walking into it. Has it alwyas been that way, or is that a bug?

It's not a bug. Many of my libraries explicitly force areas to consider density. area.Enter() just returns 1 by default.

area
    Enter(atom/movable/o)
        return !(density&&o.density)

Would that be:

If both are dense, return False. If either or both are non-dense, return true.

Yep, you nailed it. Someone could probably make a semantic correction about short-circuiting, but it would be unnecessary, childish, and deep in spectrum territory.
