Four corner distortions that are driven by lower-level code I believe
(ie, not intrinsic AS).
It's a big deal to designers mostly and will definitely be cause for
a new wave of 3d engines popping up.
For programmers, hopefully they throw us a bone and at least do this
implementation right - at a minimum real 3x3 and 4x4 matrices. That
may be asking too much though since that whole 5kb of compressed code
will totally bloat the player.
