&gt;I forgot to say that you can start folding beasties back in the
&gt;container when there has been nobody in the being-contained-area for
&gt;a while. (I tend to forget to say stuff like that, sorry)

This doesn't handle the obvious mechanical problems.  The core problem
is guaranteeing that the folding is not detectable by players:

  &gt; l
  You are in a corridor that runs east west.
  There is a T-Rexx here.
  &gt; w
  You are at the end of a corridor that runs east west.  
  The only exit is to the east.
  &gt; e
  You are in a corridor that runs east west.
  There is a T-Rexx here.
  The T-Rexx leaves west.
  &gt; wait a really long time.
  &gt; w
  ...no T-Rexx...

(No, I don't have a possible solution -- does anyone else?)
