Vector3D is totally it. I knew I'd seen it x at y@z somewhere, which was in
OpenQWAQ now that I think about it.

Is there a canonical MC repository for this code, or should I grab an
Cobalt image and start filing stuff out?

Eeep! I'm a step closer to Logo in Minecraft :D I did the simplest thing
that would work, which is something like...

turtle
    penDown;
    turn: #west;
    go: 5;
    turn: #up;
    go: 1;
    turn: #east;
    go: 5

This is actually good enough to make procedurally generating relatively
complex builds (e.g., a CPU) much less painful that even a map editor, but
it doesn't feel like Logo at all. I haven't used Logo since childhood, but
IIRC one would turn by degrees and these would be mapped onto pixel space.
I *think* this is why I'm wanting a 3D Point, so I can map 3D points onto
voxel space without reinventing the third dimension from scratch.

This was a fun problem to think about: I tried to get #left and #right as
valid params to the turn method, but wait! What does #left mean when the
turtle is currently traveling up? Which has me now thinking in terms of
roll/yaw/pitch. It's weird to think about.

I'm having a blast though. Thanks for doing the bindings, Bert!
