Nope.  I'm currently too ignorant and unskilled to implement a BSP.  ;)

IIRC, it was just a check to see which side of the 6 planes that bounded the
View Frustum the selected point was on.  Simple.  Fast.

I suppose there might be a way to convert the frustum into a signed distance
function (SDF) and do it that way.   It would be slick, and then you'd have the
distance calculation integrated into each check as well.
