If World object has only one subobject, and the World
is neither textured nor transformed (can't do this anyway),
then make that object the World object. In theory we could
do this (collapsing) throughout the modeling tree.

> 2 objects in CSG objects

Create nasty, rigorous test scenes, more examples in general.

Animated lights & camera.

Cubic interpolation functions.

Animated primitive/texture/surface/etc parameters.

There should be a windowing command that takes pixel locations
as well as one that takes normalized coordinates.

Put Linda code back in place.

User-selectable primitives/aggregates/lights/textures at compile time?

Technical Documentation

Make heightfields be stored in fixed-point, and take care of byte-ordering
problems so that height fields are transportable from machine to machine.

Is Bayes' theorem-based polygon intersection method better?

Adaptive gridding.

Better antialiasing.

Add an option to perform sorting during ray/List intersection tests so
objects are tested approximately in order.

Expr compressor program: Spits out .ray file with just floats.

Optimize blur for non-jitter case (don't exapnd bboxes, etc).

Animated scales and translations can modify matrix directly.
