I'm not sure we were talking about the same thing. Of course, that TODO
item would allow non-x-wrapping and top-bottom wrapping. But the last
thing I meant was that if 1 player wants to play x-only-wrapping and
another player wants to play y-only wrapping, one of the clients could
swap the coordinates or something. Then both get what they want.
