Quick question for the group:

Does anyone see any value in being able to use OO syntax to transform an
object *after* it's declaration, in the general way shown in Shay's
example? (I would like to hope that we could come up with a cleaner
syntax than that.)

In principle, it seems like it could be useful, but I can't actually
come up with any concrete examples of things that couldn't be
accomplished in the current SDL.

Anyone?

You know you've been raytracing too long when you spend more time
"tweaking" a texture than modelling the rest of the scene.
