It looks to me that RTTHERM has not been properly functional for quite some 
time.  Please prove me wrong…  After several hours inspection, it fails my 
quick maintenance cost-benefit analysis and is now a strong removal / scope 
reduction candidate.

Multispectral tracing is a significant and rare marketing point, but moot if 
it’s broken or costly to maintain without usership.

Moreover, the implementation method — compilation state toggled by a 
preprocessor definition — is intrinsically costly to maintain without adding 
tests.  Maintaining the feature increases the code’s cyclomatic and build 
system complexity.  As it uses the rt animation script interface, it’s further 
impacted by that deprecation.

If anyone is aware of ANY use historic within past 10 years or current, please 
speak up.  I vaguely recall there being a publication, but didn’t find it in 
our bibliography.

Cheers!
Sean
