strange disturb options

That thread about the death sword got me to thinking about a disturb option I
coded once along with some others I've only thought about. I hope Andrew will
forgive me for proposing more options.

When playing a priest, sometimes I want to be disturbed whenever mana reaches
maximum, at which time I immediately cast another PFE.

Playing any class, I would prefer to be distrubed the turn BEFORE I scroll the
screen. I put off using stair detection hoping I will come to a lit room with
stairs, but want to read a scroll or cast a spell before leaving the quadrant.
As it is, I run and scroll the screen, then have to step back and re-scroll.

Also, I've been playing with the idea of [once I have enough rods of
lightbeam] never stepping onto an unlit square. I guess the disturb option
would work as follows. If you run, and the first step of the run is lit,
disturb before stepping onto an unlit square.


Any other ideas for new disturb options?

DIsturb after moving (say) 20 squares.

I'd use this in Iron if it was available.
