        there's a bug where a chunk's model is not updated if its neighbor
        changes border light levels

+       I kinda mitigated it a little for direct neighbors during linking, but
+       it still can happen in (hopefully) rare corner cases
+
+       propagation through semi-filled blocks is wonky. I worked around it by

+       could cause some weird behaviours

-       I got a segfault (sadly in release mode, so no sensible trace, but
-       it was in ChunkLoader::Update). I suspect it has something to do
-       with how chunks are relinked after a near death experience.
