The OP has intentionally decided not to dive as fast as possible, as the
level
feeling is actually useful to him.

If I could configure the level feeling to react to items on the floor that
are
useful but in depth, and further more react to *my* notion of how useful
the
items are, I'd actually consider using the feeling.  Being able to
configure
hazardous monsters would also be a bonus, although perhaps that should be
another axis of level feeling.  Thinking about it...the fixed object-based
level
feeling should be configurable from the squelch interface.

As it is, both the level feeling and autos*** are next-to-useless in
V3.0.9-.
