Proposal: Preventing popcorn spawns
This was implemented in Skyrim and various other games (I know you're eager to say 'BUT THIS ISN'T SKYRIM', 'CRAWL TAKES NO INSPIRATION FROM ANYTHING!' - but please don't) and worked well - no one wants to traipse back through cleared levels. It involves no challenge, doesn't have any affect on the char. and absolutely everyone cntrl+g's it.
The only exception is if you used mapping on every level, ran through everything and massively ninja'd the rune. I personally don't think this should be encouraged and view it as broken behaviour - not that you should have to fight everything, but you certainly should be able to handle most things on the way back up if you can get through the bottom floor. Also, any char that manages to pull this off once, probably won't be able to successively do it if they're not getting enough XP from battlin'.
