Nope, not a joke. I seriously didn't remember the reason(s) why other
approaches wouldn't work as well as INVERTNEXT.
I poked around old messages a little bit, I think I remember better now.
Let me (attempt to) explain:
When this whole BFC discussion started, I thought the best way to invert
subfiles was to negate the orientation matrix.
Later in the discussion, it became apparent to me that using the orientation
matrix was not a workable way to deal with inversion. Other people realized
this from the start, I think.
As I remember, the only other suggested approach to inverted objects was to have
two sets of primitives; one set with normal orientation, the other set inverted.
This is actually a workable solution, but limits the power of the LDraw
language, and requires somebody to *write* all the inverterd-primitive files.
So INVERTNEXT is our best solution to the problem.
