Well, we do not have it as you described, we have extent() mechanism only to
skip transparent pixels.

Which do you mean? General science articles? I can't remember any =( But i
shall take a look.

If you mean ones describing our engine, we could discuss it, and i could
write some if needed.

I was publishing some initial ideas to the mail-list and a blog. Some of
them have transformed a bit during implementation, but only a bit. =)
