I don't like the suggestion in the OP. It's unnecessary complexity that would never matter in practice.
Manuals do introduce new decisions for species with plain aptitudes.
My suggestion will improve qualify of life for troglodits. I created the thread after being surprised that some books were not burned in Elf 3 vault. Manuals look almost identical to books so I press af as soon as I see some books/manuals in view.
If my suggestion is implemented, troglodites will not need to spend time on walking (no apportation, right?) to tile with manuals to check if they can be used with Trog. If manual has not been burned, it can be used.
