That would be great.  I don't think nLogn will be a big problem there.

Okay, if the 3d implementation doesn't even exist, then this is of course
not a 1.2 issue.

This is described on the homepage.  If there are errors or ambiguities in
the text please let me know and I'll fix them.

Yes we can (no pun intended).  Could you please put this information in
the FlySpray thread?

I agree.
