Cunning, though for me, it's more of a curiosity than something I'd be
willing to implement. Can a builder switch between coord systems? Say
from cartesian to cylindrical? Or perhaps something even more bizarre,
like transformations to a Z plane:

A modern day maze. (eek, bad game design!)

Oh, I see...
Mundane questions coming up...
How do you define irregular domains? Lots & lots of coords?
I presume players can see across domains?
Can domains be shifted around? Say, if an earthquake struck an area.
How are overlapping domains resolved?
