Report #5426 was classified as not-a-bug, but the underlying issue can be improved. For item selection where BUCX (bless/curse state) filtering is supported (mostly for menustyle:Full, but there are a few actions where Traditional and Combination handle BUCX too), 3.4.3 took the union of object class and bless/curse state (so ?!B gave all scrolls and all potions and every blessed item from other classes) but 3.6.0 changed that to the intersection (so ?!B gives blessed scrolls and blessed potions, period). Since gold is inherently not blessed or cursed it has been getting excluded during intersection handling when that includes BUCX filtering. Report #5426 was from a player who was used to choosing $X when putting newly acquired loot into a container asking to have the old behavior reinstated. The ideal fix would be to support both union ($ | X) and intersection (?! & B), but implementation would be bug prone and the interface, especially when done for menus, would be cumbersome. Instead, this adds new boolean option, goldX, to allow the player to decide whether gold is classified as uncursed--even though it is never described as such--or unknown. The new-loot-into-container issued can be solved either via $abcX, where abc lists all classes that have any X items (when gold is included as one of the classes, its BUCX state is now ignored for the current selection), or by setting the goldX option and then just picking X for the types of items to put into the container (or drop or whatever other action supports BUCX filtering). The situations where menustyle:Full allows BUCX filtering during object class specification and styles Traditional and Combination don't should to be fixed (by extending BUCX support to Traditional and Combination rather than removing it from Full, obviously).
