Put your spheres in it and loop over the ones you have so far looking for
a hit with trace().  Then take the closest hit you found.  The nested unions
are probably faster, if you can get them to work.

You're looking for "object" rather than "#object".  "#object" is bad syntax,
but the parser treats it like "object" for now.
