I think if it's not lined up precisely, the left and right side get 
shorter and shorter until it's a dot. If it's not behind the item at 
all, you'll see the direct light and then the "slingshotted" light, 
causing basically two dots.

But yah, that's pretty cool.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
