-- Use this function for the on_place handler of tools and similar items
-- that are supposed to do something special when "placing" them on
-- a node. This makes sure the on_rightclick handler of the node
-- takes precedence, unless the player held down the sneak key.
-- Parameters: Same as the on_place of nodes
-- Returns <handled>, <handled_itemstack>
-- * <handled>: true if the function handled the placement. Your on_place handler should return <handled_itemstack>.
--              false if the function did not handle the placement. Your on_place handler can proceed normally.
-- * <handled_itemstack>: Only set if <handled> is true. Contains the itemstack you should return in your
--                        on_place handler
-- Recommended usage is by putting this boilerplate code at the beginning of your function:
