No.

It's pretty "dumb" code actually (well, Pierre's code in Opcode is good --
 "dumb" means "it's very straightforward"). It's sweep-and-prune in it's very 
essence - just sort AABBs along coordinate axes, and get overlapping ones.

Opcode also contains more "advanced" form of it, that places AABB in "it's 
place" everytime it moves, but I haven't played with it. So now it just re-
sorts on every collision checking (but that other form would be good for geom-
vs-space queries like collide2 - I haven't implemented it yet).
