//
// PLANEMAP
//
// This module defines two classes: PlaneMap, and PlaneItem.  A
// PlaneItem is an object that has a plane (a string) and an
// XYZ position.  A PlaneMap keeps track of potentially thousands
// of PlaneItem objects, allowing you to search for PlaneItems
// by scanning a geographic region.
//
// CLASS SPRITE DERIVES FROM PLANEITEM
//
// A PlaneMap records the positions of PlaneItems.  The intent is
// that class Sprite should derive from PlaneItem.  That way, the
// PlaneMap can record the positions of sprites.
//
// When you put derived types like Sprite into a PlaneMap, the
// PlaneMap will work fine.  However, when you scan the PlaneMap,
// it will give return PlaneItem pointers, not Sprite pointers.
//
// If you're sure that the PlaneMap contains only sprites, then
// you can use static_cast to convert those PlaneItem pointers to
// Sprite pointers.  Sadly, there's no simple way to avoid the casting.
//
// THE SCANNABLE REGION IS FINITE
//
// A plane is a rectangle, with a finite size: if you stray more
// than 80,000,000 meters from the origin, then that PlaneItem
// is beyond the scannable region.
//
// There's nothing stopping you from moving a PlaneItem outside
// the scannable region.  It is not an error to do so.
// However, if you do move a PlaneItem outside the scannable
// region, then that PlaneItem will not show up for scan_radius.
//
// PLANES CANNOT BE DESTROYED BUT THEY CAN BE UNINHABITED
//
// You can't "create" or "destroy" planes.  Instead, we say
// that a plane is "uninhabited" until you put a PlaneItem
// there.  Initially, all possible planes exist, but they're
// all uninhabited until you put a PlaneItem there.  Planes
// that are uninhabited take no memory.
//
// THE NOWHERE PLANE
//
// If you use the literal "nowhere" as a plane name, a special case is
// triggered: you're "nowhere."  Radius scans can never find items
// whose plane is "nowhere."  The same also applies when you use the
// empty string as a plane name.
//
// THE Z COORDINATE IS IGNORED
//
// Class PlaneItem stores X, Y, and Z.  The Z coordinate is
// ignored for all plane-scanning operations.  In other words,
// planes are 2D.  The only reason we store a Z coordinate
// is for the consistency of storing the model's X, Y, and Z
// all in the same place.
//
// MEMORY MANAGEMENT
//
// PlaneMaps do not own PlaneItems.  This is a deliberate choice.
// We assume that sprites will be owned by the sprite ID table.
// So therefore, the PlaneMaps shouldn't own the sprites.
//
// So instead, we use this rule: a PlaneMap has a function 'track'
// that causes it to start tracking the location of a PlaneItem.
// However, the PlaneMap still doesn't own the PlaneItem.
// If you destroy a PlaneMap, all the PlaneItems
// will automatically be untracked, but they won't be deleted.
