Getting to the situation is easy.  Just have one or more Pingii explode 
underneath the water.  And there you have it.  A hole beneath the water 
that a Bridger can build a bridge to.

This will need to be taken into consideration in the fix.  I think I'll 
need to consider head collisions with the water above as well.

It would be nice to have the head_collision_on_walk() method handle this 
so that collision detection is consistent.  But I don't think this is 
achievable in a nice way.

Mind you, Walker::Update() doesn't check for head collisions with the 
water.  So Pingii could walk through water as long as they don't get their 
feet wet.  Hmmm....

Thanks,
Gervase.
