With ComputerCraft 1.6 I noticed that the turtle detect functions now return true if you use them on liquids (I assume this is on purpose). Like wise, can you can do a compare on them, but you cannot actually ever get a true because in survival, it is not possible to get source blocks.
My suggestion is a function like turtle.isPassable() or something that would check if the block the turtle is looking at is passable (like a liquid).
I know that it is probably on purpose there is not a turtle.getItemID() method, so that is why I hope my suggestion is mild enough to be acceptable. I need it because without it, I cannot find a viable way to deal with liquids in my branch mining program in 1.6.
EDIT: I should probably make another topic for this, but it is very related. Also a function to test if a block is indestructible (like bedrock). Currently the way I test for bed rock is try to mine it X number of times and if it does not work, it must be bedrock. The problem with that is that it makes my programs take ALOT longer to run.
