I dissented then, and I dissent now.  There are some topologies that
would not be particularly difficult to implement for which wrapping of
non-real tiles has no good meaning whatsoever.

       x x x
     x x x x x
<- x x x x x x x ->
<- x x x x x x x ->
<- x x x x x x x ->
     x x x x x
       x x x

Your only response was to make the incorrect claim that this is not a
valid topology.

I also pointed out that any time you are wrapping an unreal coordinate
you are doing something fundamentally, theoretically wrong.  I don't
believe you responded to this at all.

If I have forgotten some of the points you made, now is the time to
bring them back up.
