Generating Tools for Peasants

This has probably been posted before, but I couldn't find any other instance of it.

Anyways, as DF is always about workarounds, I had been wondering how to mod a dwarf peasant to generate with a wooden flail. It seemed hardcoded that (human) peasants generate with either a carving/boning/slicing knife and that if there was a tag for this it wasn't entity file related, it was in the tool raws.

I noticed if you add one of the following tags:

[TOOL_USE:MEAT_CARVING]
[TOOL_USE:MEAT_BONING]
[TOOL_USE:MEAT_SLICING]

you can have peasants generate with any item type, from flails to wooden baskets. It's a clumsy/ugly behind-the-curtains mechanic, but it seems to work nicely if that can be ignored.

It had been suggested to me previously that you could make peasantry weapons this way, like shillelaghs or quarterstaffs.

I do wish there was a way to control equipment slotting. Generation just wants to fill up slots. It's just weird to see a gem setter generate with a crossbow and a two-handed flail. That causes a bit more dissonance then say the 2+ mail shirt wearing soldier. You can at least think, "well, that's just how DF handles the idea of double mail."
