Because the patch has been hanging around for over a year.  My
decision on this isn't going to change, so discussion will not be
fruitful.

We don't need discussion about this; we need patches.  Stuff that
should go in the main text should be added there.  Stuff that
should go in the snippets (i.e. tweaks and overrides) should be
added there.

There's information about the snippets somewhere in Contributing
chapter 6.  Documentation is chapter 4.

Each item should only take 5 minutes or so, once you know how to
add snippets or modify the documentation.  Pick one of the items
at random and send a patch here for discusion.
(err, the first sentence in this part should be "we don't need
more vague discussion; we need discussion about specific patches")

One of the two possible outputs has either a collision between
rest and beam, or a very near collision.  The other one clearly
has no collision at all.

I'd rather go with the "no collision at all", but if we can
consistently get the "almost-collision" version (and can't
consistently get the "no collision at all" version), then I'll
consider this issue fixed.
