Of course, this could be handy in a ton of other ways...namely tradeskills. Decompress a bag full of stockpiled TS stuff, and you are TS on the go!
ZOT!
ok. Um. not sure I understand. Turning a single non-bag item into a token saves no space. And the gargantuan amount of possible combinations of illusion items that would go together the make possible "in container" options is just not feasible. And code currently has no way of "storing" variable information like that, so can't just store it on you.
