I am milestoning this for v1.3. We really can't leave this code as confusing as it is for too much longer.

What's the status on this one? I'm happy to take a crack at it, but I can't find any previous discussion about what (specifically) should be done here.

[WeatherGod]

We just need to have more sensible variable names. At the very least, it
needs to have better comments by whoever understands exactly what happens
here. I especially don't like having a variable "x" and "X". Drives me
bonkers.

I'm punting this to 1.4.x, since I don't think there's time to get it in to the release candidate today.

The line link no longer makes sense. @dmcdougall Can you update where the confusing code is?

Experimentally, we can leave code that confusing for quite some time.

Closing this as it in 2+ years old.
