- API for recursing through embedded inventories, e.g. in totes.
	- Lux reaction cannot sense other lux inside totes.

- Player APIs:
	- Physics/acceleration, for waterflow, conveyors, etc.

- When can we remove the issue7020 workaround?

- Lens strobing rate limiting of some kind?
	- Require cool-downs after a lot of toggling?
	- Add histerisis or switch-on/charge-up delay?
	- Could this be an accessibility issue?

- "Smart" optics placement?
	- Pick initial rotation automatically to have the most utility
	  according to some heuristics.
	- May involve expanding or redesigning the optics API
	  significantly...?

- Make separate walkable/non-walkable stack nodes.
	- Should sticks and eggcorns be non-walkable?

- Code Quality.
	- Scripts to validate dependency graph.
		- Tag deps directly in code at place of use.
		- Auto-generate mod.conf / depends.txt
	- Scripts for automatic metapackage mods?
	- Git hooks (and git hook setup scripts)?

- API Cleanup
	- Utils
		- Box mueller (and repeated box mueller sum) and exporand
	- Break up the nc_api monstrosity.
		- nc_api_base to create _G.nodecore and include for all.
		- nc_api metamod that just depends on ALL other api's.
		- nc_all metamod for 3rd party mod authors...?
	- Heat API
		- Unified heating/cooling number from env.
		- Proper API for burning up items
			- on_burn?  burns_to?
		- Unify heat transformations into recipe system with
		  cooking recipes?
	- Unify nc_items and visinv API.
		- Stack nodes are "special", get first-class support.

- Make neighbor/distance calcs consistent.
	- We're using scan_flood in some places, face checks in others,
	  and find_nodes_in_area (cuboid) in others.
	- Diamond shape would be most consistent.
	- Should require face touching, not diagonal.
