Minor ? re Cursed items found on the ground

[Smoketest]

So I might have missed special items placed on the ground (are there random items on ground on levels?).

The items that spawn are usually inside 'rooms', be they made from stone wall or wood fence. The only exceptions are some quest items that can spawn almost anywhere on a given Dlvl. Examples are the Fungal Tome, Mushroom patch (container), Slain Hero (container) and Golden Elixir. I'm guessing these follow similar placement rules as chests, but not barrels, which can be placed right next to a wall and thus, especially in caves, can be hidden from view. These quest items may have even tighter restrictions on how much open space is required for placement, to guarantee that the player will see them if he/she is in the area.
