I understand what you mena (I think). The only problem is that the
horisontal part of the slit would still be one brick wide.
I've been thinking about how to do cross arrow slits that would be around
half a brick wide at the most. I'm thinking SNOT technology, and using those
1 by 1 bricks with the studs on all four sides (5 including the top).
