  If tranformations will affect the glow, I'll suppose that this includes
(non-uniform) scaling as well. This can be a very useful feature to get
oval glows (eg. a candle flame).

  C++ does.

  The good thing about arrays (ie. vectors) is that they not only take less
memory than lists, but you can also index a vector and thus, if the items
inside it are in certain order, perform a binary search.
