	 *
	 * If there is an intersection, returns true; and if @p out is not NULL, it
	 * is set to the intersection point. This is guaranteed to be the earliest
	 * tile intersected (starting at @p origin), but not necessarily the earlier
	 * triangle inside that tile.
	 *
	 * This partly duplicates RayIntersect, but it only operates on a single
	 * patch, and it's more precise (it uses the same tile triangulation as the
	 * renderer), and tries to be more numerically robust.
