Thanks for merging this, I really like the convenience of SHIFT-CLICK.

Since "formspec" is stored in the individual node items, this change only affects newly placed chests/shelves/... I have code to update the formspec for already placed chests and shelves "on_punch". This let me update those items in existing towns, but "on_punch" seems a little kludgy (not something I'd do without running it past you first). Do you know a smarter way of doing this?

I could do something like the following on server startup, but it might be a little excessive:
`
local fs_pos = find_nodes_in_area({x=-32000,y=-32000,z=-32000}, {x=32000,y=32000,z=32000},
{"default:chest", "default:npc_chest"})

for i = 0, #fs_pos - 1 do
local meta = minetest.get_meta(fs_pos[i])
meta:set_string("formspec",default.chest_formspec)
end
`

I love the convenience of SHIFT-CLICK too I forgot about it and never updated the game.

Maybe the update could be done with an LBM. If I understand LBMs correctly it wouldn't have to run every time a block is loaded. I could be ran only the first time the block is loaded since that LBM was created.
