- Consider quantizing/palletizing textures.

- Switch door ablation propulsion to run on a node timer instead of
  an abm, so it responds faster and more consistently?
	
- Make torches emit some light even when not wielded?
	- More consistent with bandolier.
	- Standardize temporary light system?

- falling_node pillars settle out of order!

- Add hint for recycling glass(es) to sand?

- Delayed hint witnessing?
	- Store credit for soaking recipe in node metadata, give it to
	  the first person to punch it later.
	- Use for witnessing fermentation recipes like peat/humus,
	  humus/dirt, dirt/sand.

- Tote recycling is possible but has no hint.
	- Should recipe be changed?  Heat it back into a cube if empty?
	- Consider updating tote recipe.

- Should we create "recipe groups" to make it easier to specify
  equivalent recipes for hint purposes?

- Totes should do face-connected search for totables; don't pick up
  shelves only touching via a corner.

- Item ent merge should use logic consistent with nodecore.stack_merge,
  which handles item families.

- Flammables should respond via AISM when bathed in fire or igniting
  liquids like molten glass or rock.

- Need to find a way to make AISMs work with falling_node.
	- Create ItemStack, run hooks, try to convert back to node
	  (assume node and item meta map 1:1) and if it fails then
	  spawn an item_ent.
	- Need this for amalgamation remelting.
	- Would it make sense to unify the item and falling_node ents?

- Can we automatically dump a TP overrides.txt file?
	- Move this, and translate hook, to a chat command?

- Quicker optic path updates.
	- Record which nodes are blocking optic paths, and which are
	  used by optic paths, in-memory, for quicker recalcs?

- Offline sponge spreading.
	- Similar to grass spreading.

- Replacement for mkreg, a.k.a. register_generic():
	- Allow lazy registration, i.e. a register method that can
	  register for things not yet defined, and allow later registration
	  of the registration definition that will pick up those missed.
	- Allow unregistering things...?

- Should ash and derivatives have a fertilizing effect?
	- Maybe wet/tacky stuccos?

- Unify sponge growth logic so it can be used for mapgen, to ensure
  that spawned sponges match naturally-grown ones?

- Design doc needs another shakedown.
