I almost never use hack-and-back anymore, in any case. (Only in the
extremely rare event that I need to get rid of an Eog golem, and don't
have Tele****t Other to spare.) The trouble with your idea is that if
you are attacking a slow-moving monster, a fast moving monster may
come around the corner and kill you before your combat stops.
