If I understand this correctly, Tim's suggestion is to support
diagonal tiles of the form
------
|`. |
| `. |
| `.|
------
without actually splitting the tile into two parts. Instead, the two
halves of the tile could have different types. By changing the width
or height of the tile you'd get different angles... So this means
that if we look at one plane in magic, the tiles could be
"half-painted". It seems that one might be able to keep the traversal
code with this approach.
Would this involve adding new tech file design rules, since the tech
file contains things like edge4way rules that are designed to match
the internal data structures of magic? It would certainly change the
way a touching_ok is checked.
