I wouldn't think it would be that hard.  And I'm mainly talking about the 
explosive kind.  Spikes, blades, etc only hurt those right on top the 
square, right?  And I would call them stable triggers, they won't be 
setoff by explosions.  But things like fire, poison cloud, icestorm, etc 
is explosive and each trap it comes in contact with, we could have 
icestorm square for instance try to disarm the traps it flies over, some 
maybe successful (trap was destroyed without setting it off), or 
unsuccessful, in which case the trap does go off.  And so forth.  I'm 
thinking this can be done since fire or icestorm is able to destroy some 
items it crosses over, so why not?
