I'm hoping the artifacts won't be too noticeable in most cases, but it 
won't be a problem when it does happen. As I said, there will still be a 
ray sampling method available, or you could increase the resolution of 
the mesh. There will just be a tradeoff of polygon artifacts/increased 
memory or grainyness/slower rendering for those objects that don't have 
a specialized proximity method.
