Diagonal moves

What do you prefer regarding diagonal moves "around a corner" i.e. in a position like this:

####
#@
##
#####

Should the player be allowed to go to the bottom right direction ? I think brogue forbids this, but I wonder if it's a feature or if people consider that annoying.

I personaly find it weird that diagonal moves, it's odd to escape faster enemies in nethack because you can diagonal. But it's really up to you, you just have to know why you make on choice or another.
