Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Show the edges of the level

Show the edges of the level as a visually different kind of rock that says it's unnaturally hard. It's really arbitrary and pointless to dig into what appears to be ordinary rock and have nothing happen.

Also, let's just eliminate levels that are built all the way to the edge, so you can always dig (if it's diggable).

Re: Show the edges of the level

Currently it's not "unnaturally hard rock," it's just a rock wall if you xv it. It looks the same as other rock walls, but it cannot be dug because it's the edge of the level.
