glyph of warding makes items disappear?

Could we not implement a new generic "trap + object" symbol like the pile symbol or unidentified treasure-detected objects? In fact, the pile symbol in the same colour as the trap detection border would be a logical choice. And you could do the same if you have trapped doors and staircases - colour change indicates known-to-be-trapped.

Sometimes I wonder if the GCU interface should be abolished -- it seems like this could be handled by the multitude of accents avaiable in Unicode and (more generally) overlapping symbols on the display.

(I think I agree that a "pile symbol" would suffice for this case, but...)

Crawl manages to do all of these things quite well in ASCII mode.

The main problem to be resolved is which do you see - the trap or the object? Obviously if the trap is unknown you see the object, but once the trap is discovered?

^ trap
△ trap with object

Unicode ftw.

+1 for colored pile symbol for trap with object.

Seconding the trap with object symbol above.

I'm going for a tile version of the picture several posts back...
