1) Is already being worked on and seems to at least have a following in the
development team (there may already be a consensus to implement it, I can't
be sure). The approach we're taking is to remove the sharp weapon butchery
requirement (e.g. it is always presumed that all characters are carying with
them a knife they can butcher with).
2) The identification of equipment, potions, scrolls, etc. is a key (albeit
a small key) piece of the gameplay in crawl and providing any "free" means
of identification cheapens this aspect of the game. It also "forces" players
to delve enough into spellcasting to pickup the identify spell.
