Yeah, that's my fault, sorta. I found the old "Not with the potion of healing in view" style of messages horribly misleading, so I changed the mimic naming code. Unfortunately, this had the side effect of also losing the flavourful "You hit the distressingly furry leather armour."

Changing the mimic names to mention the item type (like the feature mimics already do) might be a good compromise.

All mimics are now named "foo mimic" with foo being the item basic description (DESC_BASENAME).
