There should maybe be a feature (set by default) to automatically adjust
the rendering area to the camera's aspect ratio.  I can't think of any
situation where it would be problematic.

By "rendering area", I mean that, if the camera ratio is 2:1, and the
rendering
resolution is set to 4:3, the resolution should remain intact, but you'll
get
black stripes on top and bottom, like when you watch a 16:9 movie on a 4:3
TV.
