Also, I'm curious as to why the cutaway_textures feature requires the use of an
untextured object as a cutter to be able to function properly.
One would reasonably expect that we should be able to use any object.
If, as per wiki documentation, the cutaway_textures feature result is based on
insidedness tests, then the texture of the cutter should be irrelevant.
