    Increased stacking.

    The way it is you can have identical items but they won't stack because
    your knowledge of those items is different, some of it unknown.

    +0 dagger
    3 uncursed daggers

    You don't know it yet but 3 uncursed daggers are +0. Since the four
    daggers are identical, I would like them to stack. This is how Wizardry
    7 does it.

    The variant I'm currently playing (notnotdNethack) does that. (Not sure
    about support of that in its predecessors, notdNethack or dNethack.)

    NetHack 3.7 does it this way. Several variants (NetHack 4, xNetHack,
    and notnotdNetHack at least) also have this.
