I'v been wondering... with a "spherical" workspace,  there is less space
towards the "top" and "bottom" (latatudes are shorter twards the poles)
Also, if I were to look up and put a window 45deg up, then look strreight
again, then spin around 180 deg and look up 135 deg, the window would now
be upside down. how is this resolved?
