Digging without Shovels

[granny]

Make it possible for people to dig without shovels, only getting a boost on, maybe search or speed of digging if using one for it.

For instance, it'd be reasonable if you decide to shapeshift into a badger to be able to dig without needing a shovel.

Hate to be a nay sayer, but is this really worth the trouble?

I guess as much as harvesting poisons, meat and climbing were?
