I looked through some JIRAs.  Apparently there are also interactions of
double-click with HUDs, and some other issues.

Just thinking out loud...

Maybe we need to think through a more general solution.  It occurs to me
that llRayCast() is going to make it easier to create scripted route/path
finders using simple AI.  Some possible useful behaviors...


   - Go here.
   - Go here and sit.
   - Go wherever this avatar goes.
   - Exactly trace the footsteps of this avatar.
   - Try to stay just to the left of this avatar.
   - Try to stay just to the right of this avatar.
   - Try to get in front of and face this avatar.


Five years ago, I expected a lot more of this type of puppeteering to be
added to SL, but it never happened.  Maybe the perfect chased away the good.
 It should be obvious and built-in to shake hands, hold hands, hug, slap,
pat-on-head, peck-on-cheek, put-arm-around, etc etc etc.

Of course, this is a massive project involving server and VWR and lots of
other invisible parts I don't even know about, and it cannot all be done at
once.  Like I said...just thinking out loud.
