There are plenty of good algorithms for finding the lights in raytracing these days, but has anyone tried using cats?

Implemented tree height reduction/balancing - eg expressions like this now fold properly: "x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + (y * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 1)"

Reading intel manuals, just learnt that cmpeq xmm0, xmm0 breaks instruction dependency (for setting reg to ~0 like xor reg, reg for 0). Clang replaces this for you in place of _mm_set_epi32(~0), as usual compilers are cool :) godbolt.org/z/kZkWkZ
