  Bad idea. You will get lots of accuracy problems that way. Floating
point numbers are inaccurate for extremely huge and small values; there's
nothing we can do about it.

  (So you should not be surprised if you put some object at
<1000000000000000, 0, 0> and another at <1000000000000001, 0, 0> and they
end at the exact same place...)
