Actually, I can't see how I could do without it. Even if I resign primary
player collsion response/physics to our own code, the problem is then
player/object interactions. That is, the player needs to interact with the
dynamic objects in the world, including objects which could manipulate its
position. I can't see how this could coexist with a custom system.

We have dense AABB trees for collision, which I understand OpCode supports.
