Two-handed weapons, off-hands, and shields

So, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to bring this up, but I can't find it in the last couple pages of threads and I don't really want to perform thread necromancy of the necessary magnitude if it's buried deeper than that. So new thread, please don't rage too hard. :P
I'd really like to be able to equip a two-handed weapon (or one-handed ranged weapon) without having to manually unequip the off-hand/shield slot. This would be particularly useful with regards to quick slots, as it'd be really nice to be able to have my sword-and-shield fighter put his bow in a quick slot, or my archer ranger be able to quickly switch to her two swords. Perhaps a feature could be added to disable the off-hand when a two-handed/ranged weapon is equipped, or we could have IWD2-style quick slots with an off-hand associated with each one. I don't know which of those would be easier, and each has its pros and cons, but I'd be pretty happy if either one were added.
Thanks for your consideration.

The current hammers do quite meager damage and must be dual-wielded or with a shield. A warrior with a 2h hammer would be really impressive sight to behold.
