That, I think, would be a great thing.

It also did occur to me that V could be used to indicate a vertical extension the way X and Y extend a move orthogonally and diagonally, but then there's the problem of how to indicate rising-only and falling-only moves, as well as the interface for multiple levels... yeah, I think it'd be worth keeping in the back of your mind, but I'll be absolutely unsurprised if it just stays there and never comes out.

I also need to figure out how to implement things like "jumps like a Zebra, then optionally slides like a Bishop." I know it's in there, but I just can't quite grasp it for some reason. I have no immediate need, though.
