Well, Angband is kind of boring now. Making it more fun is not a bad 
thing. I'm not sure that getting rid of this kind of "annoyances" is the 
right way to do that though. Frog-knows has much worse UI but is 
othervise more fun to play. Part of that fun is the limited knowledge 
you get from your surroundings. For example you can't 'l'ook at the 
object you don't really see.

Not all of us are divers. I don't actually like diving. I'm more a 
explorer-type adventurer. I like to see what every level really has. 
Diving has made me better at that, but diving itself is not fun, just 
frustrating (you die a lot). If I don't have anything to explore 
(because I see everything and I learn everything right away) game gets 
boring.
