While I do get the idea, I wanna see more valid use-cases. I could implement
those you have mentioned, although if you wanna see more of those, I'd rather
do them all at the same time.

^o^

As a merchant I ended up making client side macros for this sort of thing.
There was a lot of "get x from box;put x in forge" kind of thing.

I used three basic commands, for single items.
1) Get X;put X in Y
2) Get X from Y;drop X
3) Get X from Y;put X in Z

You can imagine the kind of thing that merchants have to do with materials
in boxes, forges, discs and on the ground and also with boxes in discs,
chests and on the ground.

I'd like to add to this conversation: storage devices such as mineral boxes
and potion packs won't respond to this at all. The items are stored as lines
of data, not as actual items.

Idea: I know it's (lots of?) extra work and would take (lots?) longer to do,
but make these suggestions work with these storage devices as well. Maybe as
a 2nd pass of command upgrades, not in the 1st pass.

Or, a response other than "It won't work. <insert techno babble>" and more
like "It will take a lot of extra coding and work to do this because of
<insert techno babble>. Expect it to be low on the list of things to spend
effort on."

Don't crush my hope! :)
