Torches are a very convenient item in this game. However, I think they should serve a second function for those who truly want to make epic secret passageways and rooms in their creations.
I don't know if this has been suggested before but Torches should also function as Levers with a right click. Levers, buttons and pressure plates are too noticeable but no one thinks twice about a torch. It would add a new element to building truly hidden passageways, rooms and even traps.
Well of course, but it would still add more depth to the game and they would have to guess which one out of perhaps many? Anyways, it just helps to hide an otherwise obvious 'Here's a secret room!' lever, button or pressure plate.
It's an iinteresting idea, but that would make levers completely useless. Besides, you can hide pressure platess well enough if you know what your doing, and tripwire coming out in 1.3, is very hidable.

I would much rather perfer a new item, like a lever torch. Looks a tad bit different from the regular torch and it still emits light.
The only difference is that you can press it down like a lever

If it looked a tad different then one could just go into the textures and color it bright pink or something. If this were to be added it'd have to be a new item that uses the exact same model/texture as a torch but acted like a lever.
You know what? All blocks should update themselves on a player's rightclick. That way BUD switch could be used with any block.

I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
I just really think this idea would add a layer of depth to the game. It could be very easy to implement. And honestly, it doesn't outright replace a lever. Levers can still be used for obvious things like say a light switch or something you want people to know is activated with the lever. Honestly, I don't want to throw a block through a painting to activate a pressure switch or deal with tripwire (which I think is cool in it's own right). It just seems like a logical addition to me, being able to use a torch as a lever to activate secret things.
Instead of a torch being a secret lever, how about some device that you sit on a wall, much like a lever, that powers the blocks around it if a torch is placed inside. Think of it like a socket, and you can only place torches in it. Once a torch is in it- it acts just like a lever pulled. You can take the torch much like taking a record out of a record player.

Ideas I would like to see in vanilla Minecraft: 1) A grinding machine — similar to a furnace, but breaks down items like a leather tunic into pieces of leather. 2) Recycling — the ability to smelt metal tools and pieces of armor back into their respective ingots. 3) A hammer — used to break down cobblestone into gravel, and gravel into sand. 4) A study — a work bench that takes an enchanted item and a plain book to extract enchantments at the cost of experience.

Everyone would catch on eventually.
