  Note that in a large sense, that could be done right now - it would just 
require more treasurelists.

  At some level, the archetype treasurelists should probably still get collected 
into the treasures.bld.  The ability to customize treasurelists on an object 
level is most useful for map design.

  OTOH, it wasn't until recently that collections of .trs files was added - 
really, there shouldn't be any treasures file at all - it should be 100% 
generated - that would also make it easier to deal with the treasures (most 
likely), in that the dragon treasure would be right with the dragon creature - 
you wouldn't have to go searching through the treasures file to find the dragon 
treasurelist.

  That in its own regard may make the treasurelists better - having a 50 line 
treasure file for a creature probably isn't that unreasonable, and you may 
better customize the treasures.  Where as with a common treasures file, there 
may be more perceived need to recycle treasures.
