  In Chicken Little it bothered me that soft shadow borders were evenly
soft, without taking into account the distance between the shadowing object
and the surface onto which the shadow was being cast. That is, for example,
when a character was standing on the ground, its shadow border was equally
smooth right where its feet touched the ground as at the part of the shadow
farthest away.
