OK, I'll go ahead and push it.  Yes, it seems like it would make sense for
this to go in core, along with Mirror -- or, then again, perhaps it would
make sense to take Mirror *out* of core and put it in this module!  Guess it
depends how important people think it is to be able to have Mirror Tile in
the default config.
