Is there a good reason why, if you are in the stomach of a monster other
than those that can normally swallow you, you are instantly totally
digested?  This can happen if you are swallowed by a chameleon while it's
pretending to be a lurker above, etc., or (I believe) if you zap a polymorph
wand while you're swallowed.  I suppose the latter case is an example of
something stupid that you shouldn't do, but one can be swallowed by a
chameleon and have no idea it is a chameleon until you suddenly see "The
mysterious monster totally digests you."

I suggest a better answer would be to have a small monster burst if you
somehow get into its stomach, while for large monsters there would be some
default value for digestion rate.  Maybe you should need fire resistance to
survive being inside a dragon, etc., though it's hardly worthwhile putting
in code for such rare events.
