Is it possible to have ITEMCORPSE drop multiple items of the same type?

Say if you want something to drop 3 units of wood instead of just one. Like to make merchant wagons be equivalent resource wise to your embark wagon.

Nope. No way. Itemcorpse is just that, item instead of a corpse. Now, if we had "ITEMDROP" instead, in the format "[ITEMDROP:<amount>:<quality>:<improveamount>:<improvequality>:<itemtype>:<itemID>:<matgloss>:<materialID>]

Also, I'd like to see "ANY_ITEM", "ANY_WEARABLE", "ANY_MISC", and such for <itemtype>, for grouping categories of items into one drop category.
