Walking into a wall takes a turn. Is this intended?

[BlackFlame]

If I accidentally walk towards a wall, it uses a turn. Learned that the hard way when my finger slipped and a monster got a free attack on me.

I didn't want to post it to the bugs forum because I don't know if it is one or not. Different games handle this differently.

Right now I like this feature as there is no rest for x amount of turns available, but I do think that later on this should be changed.

Angband itself went back and forth on this one for a long time. In Angband, if you're being attacked by invisible monsters, and bumping into walls takes no time, then you can move into the walls for free, trying to find the ghost, maybe getting lucky that way. In some versions. It got really complex, and I don't even know what the current state is.

I'll accept whatever darkgod ends up with.

There is a rest for x turns command - R. Also, I have died by doing this by accident, so I have to lean against it using a turn. Still, I do see how it could be abused.
