Avoid channels, filled or not.

Mechanoid:
... Because i'm tired of dwarves taking their break in the muddy trenches.It could even be an 'O'rder, akin to Dungeon Keeper's "Preserve self" command; a toggle between a "one of us will die here" and a "run away to fight another day" combat stance... Except this time it's just levels of basic danger avoidance:- Live Dangerously: Dwarves dont care about where they are; in a trench being prepped for flooding or not. Dwarves also attempt to do what they do now (ie: get as close as possible) with items near enemies.
- Being Cautious: Dwarves avoid standing in a channel as much as possible, or at least for as little time as possible. (Hell to code, aye, sorry. But no more YASD "Yet Another Stupid Dwarf" posts!) Items near enemies like clothes will be considered "lost" by dwarves attempting to recover them, until the threat is gone.
- Self-Preservation: Dwarves remember where enemies were and will not retrieve any item in that area; even going so far as to hide in their room /barracks*1 /free bedroom; under the covers, naturally. They will also never enter channels, ever*2.*1 Unless military, of course; they only run and hide if they or their squad are getting hacked to bits.
*2 Though their pets will, because they arn't dwarves! Can always get another one, after all.
