We could probably get around most of these problems by switching from
round-end flashes to square-end flashes, as long as we use a +
orientation instead of a x orientation. That way the ends of the
fingers won't have to extend much beyond the edge of the relief flash.
Or we could use diamond shaped flashes for x orientations.
