Psyyringe 49536fce44 Psyringe - introducing new ability: cantBeBlockedBy(T). T can be any targez specification, like "wall", "creature[flying]", etc. See added cards for examples. Note: This ability currently has the same restrictions as "protection from(T)", i.e. it can't be used in activated abilities or instants/sorceries. It *can* be used for creatures,auras, and other continuous abilities (e.g. an enchantment which grants "unblockable by walls" to all rats should be possible, although I didn't test that). There are 47 cards which use the phrase "can't be blocked by", so we should be able to get another fair mount of cards out of that.
Notes to programmers:
1. This feature uses an awful lot of copy-pasta, using "protetcion from()" as a base. While I'm learning the architecture, it's easier for me to have a dedicated single-purpose piece of code to work with, than trying to create multi-purpose code. I'm aware that this isn't a very elegant approach though, and I hope to be able to refactor additions like this into multi-purpose code once I have a better understanding of the architecture as a whole.

2. Please check the questions I'll add in my next code comments, specifically about AI integration and activated abilities / instants / sorceries.

3. I did have a crash (with the debugger complaining about stack corruption around the cd variable) during testing. I wasn't able to reproduce it though. I did have to clean the solution in-between when I updated to the primitives system, so perhaps there was this cleaning solved whatever corruption was in my files. I'm mentioning the issue in case someone has an idea on where my code might be risky (I'm still probne to making beginners mistakes).
