+	CavesNoiseIntersection is a cave digging algorithm that carves smooth,
+	web-like, continuous tunnels at points where the density of the intersection
+	between two separate 3d noises is above a certain value.  This value,
+	cave_width, can be modified to set the effective width of these tunnels.
+
+	This algorithm is relatively heavyweight, taking ~80ms to generate an
+	80x80x80 chunk of map on a modern processor.  Use sparingly!
