Not sure if this has been suggested before, but it would be great if you added a way to set weapons to work with shields as a patch for Vanilla Expanded Framework. (At least I think its a VEF feature and not vanilla.)

AKA, the Framework adds:
<li Class="VFECore.ThingDefExtension">
<usableWithShields>true</usableWithShields>

to items that can or cannot be used with shields, and the current QOL settings don't appear to have any way to change this setting on a weapon by weapon basis. For example, I want to make certain long-swords usable with shields, and would love for a simple toggle or way to use RIMMSqol to make that happen.

Hopefully what I am suggesting wouldn't require making VEF a dependent, as that certainly would be a problem. Any way to make it a non-dependent patch where the setting becomes available if the Framework is detected?

As a note, I am referring to actual wieldable shields added by various VE mods, not the vanilla energy shields.
