  // - Emitter only needs a radius that is then applied to the width
  //   of the trail being generated.
  //
  // - Allow for efficient trail path updates without rendering. The
  //   trail must not be dependent on frame rate, so it needs to be
  //   updateable fast without touching the graphics hardware.
  //
  // - If possible, externalize TrailRenderer so animated textures,
  //   multi-layer effects and even trail particle generation become
  //   possible.
