+2023-05-19 01:15 Update 12.1p:
+Mostly embedding-related improvements:
+- embedding scale parameter now works in "lower curvature" (horospher) embedding (redundant, but useful)
+- better wall shading in EuclidSquare embeddings
+- many embedding-related fixes
+- "Non-Euclidean Third Dimension" demo (of embeddings) in RogueViz
+(also, the "imaginary" hat parameter)
