Summary 0005052: Mutation form info display stuff
Description A few criticisms, some of which might be viewed as bugs.

1) Ghouls and mummies cannot ever transform, yet they still get all the form info annotations.

2) Perhaps the "() : Partially suppressed." and "(()): Completely suppressed." lines should not appear if they are not being used. They seem like they have the potential to be very confusing to players who aren't using forms (most players), otherwise.

3) On a similar note, I'm not sure the "*" annotation for mutations that might be suppressed by some changes in form is really necessary, especially since most characters won't care about it. It still doesn't tell people exactly which forms will suppress each mutation, so they'll have to try forms out anyway to see which mutations get suppressed.

 Other things:

4) Statues show level 1 + 2 molten (etc.) scales as "partially suppressed" even though, since the only effect would be AC, they are actually completely suppressed.

5) Rough black and rugged brown scales still grant the Dex penalty and HP bonus in forms, yet they're shown as "completely suppressed" rather than "partially suppressed".

6) The '%' screen does not show suppression of most fake mutations.

7) Perhaps the '%' screen should revert to hiding completely suppressed mutations, since "(heat resistance 0)" looks kind of funny.

 3), 4), and 5) are now fixed in trunk (0189732). Now the "*" annotation is displayed only if the player is in a form or is capable of changing forms (has a form spell memorised or is a vampire with Bat Form).

This leaves just the '%' screen.

 And now 6) is fixed in trunk (f018c65). I'm not sure if 7) is really a bug, so I am closing this issue for now.
