I think it's forseeable that you could want different
wreck-types depending on whether a unit destroys
another unit conventionally (In this case I'm thinking
of ships or battlemechs with nuclear engines, which
when destroyed or self-destructed perhaps cause
different effects than their regular attacks) but, for
now, I think it would be fine to just default the
wrecked-type-if-killed table to apply to detonating
units.  As far as I'm aware, there are no current
games that would be adversely affected by this and
there are a couple cute things I want to do with this
feature in Opal.
