To Calris or not to Calris...

Automatically destroying spesific item types that is. So you don't have to wade through yet another +dex ring if you don't need them, or wands of disarming etc...

don't think squelching existed in 92
It's destroying an item, marking it as useless.

...and hiding it from view. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Hiding", not "destroying". At least in vanilla case. If you unsquelch an item it appears back.

But... does the game generate pre-squelched items?

Yes, at least in vanilla angband. Squelch doesn't do anything to item generation, it only hides them from sight so that you don't see as much clutter and can concentrate on items that are interesting.

Then, could someone squelch everything in his inventory, then take things, squelch again ect, then recall and un-squelch everything?

Edit : tested. squelched items are dropped. me silly.

Ahh yes of course hiding, not destroying sorry.
