 Looking at the head of the object would be the right thing to do.  I had
already done that for exits.

 I'm not sure what all multipart objects are out there that need special
handling.  Obviously, teleporters are one.  Exits have already been done.  I'm
not sure what other objects may have a similar problem.

 For simplicity, copying the flags from the head to the more parts will at least
take care of the blocked and invisible flags.  This is a tradeoff, in that it
means the other parts contain some real values, but it means that some basic
functions, like update_position don't need to look at the head for one piece of
information (invisible) while looking at the more part for the actual face to
use if any.
