That looks interesting; I'm 'absorbing' some of the pertinent details and
letting them cook in the ol' brain.

I think you're right about the brick pattern; it seems to be tailor-made for
this problem (with a mortar thickness of zero.) I'll try that approach instead.
(I was hoping to work something out from 'first principles''-- those being the
cells pattern and warp{..}, ha-- which are not exactly 'fundamental', I admit!)
