I will take screenshots as well as comment (at least temporarily) the 
code in the patch.  I feel kind of embarrassed posting these "hacky" 
patches of ttinterp.c, but I'm sure it can be refined once all important 
parts are identified.  ;)

This is a part I was wondering about.  I understand that CT splits a 
pixel into 16 horizontal chunks and stuff like RTDG[], RDTG[], MDAP[R], 
MIAP[R], etc., all use that grid.  However, let's say we want to 
increase the horizontal resolution to 32, or 64, or 256...  or 
infinity?  Wouldn't increasing the horizontal resolution to infinity 
simply mean /ignoring/ these instructions horizontally?  (It would also 
have the added advantage of requiring less processing.)  Perhaps I'm not 
fully understanding what is going on either.  Am I making sense?
