// All functions produce results in the same reference frame as the arguments.
//
// Any arguments of the form "foo_direction" or "foo_normal" are assumed to
// be normalized, or normalized vectors are stored in them.
//
// Vector arguments of the form "shape_scale" represent the scale of the
// object along the three axes.
//
// All functions return the expected TRUE or FALSE, unless otherwise noted.
// When FALSE is returned, any resulting values that might have been stored 
// are undefined.
//
// Rays are defined by a "ray_point" and a "ray_direction" (unit).
//
// Lines are defined by a "line_point" and a "line_direction" (unit).
//
// Line segements are defined by "point_a" and "point_b", and for intersection
// purposes are assumed to point from "point_a" to "point_b".
//
// A ray is different from a line in that it starts at a point and extends
// in only one direction.
//
// Intersection normals always point outside the object, normal to the object's
// surface at the point of intersection.
//
// Object rotations passed as quaternions are expected to rotate from the 
// object's local frame to the absolute frame.  So, if "foo" is a vector in
// the object's local frame, then "foo * object_rotation" is in the absolute
// frame.
