… (24 + (difficulty * 8) + rank) in TH04, and (42 + (difficulty * 8))
in TH05. Also, TH05 only doesn't have TH04's bullet zap animation
because ZUN didn't consistently use constants…

First place to confirm the hitbox of both the 8×8 pellets and the 16×16
sprite bullets!
Well, "hitbox". It's really more of a kill delta of 8×8 pixels between
the center points of a bullet and the player. You can distribute these
pixels to any combination of bullet and player "hitboxes" that make up
8×8. 4×4 around both the player and bullets? 1×1 for bullets, and 8×8
for the player? All equally valid… or perhaps none of them, once you
keep in mind that other entity types might have different kill deltas,
which turns the concept of a "hitbox" into just a confusing abstraction.

`switch` statements compiling to binary searches if the range of values
is nasty enough? That's so cool. Apart from a few places in TH02,
this is the only place in PC-98 Touhou to show off that Turbo C++
optimization.
That code's still unexpectedly janky for what you'd expect from the 4th
game in the series, though.

motion_t is also used for certain animations in MAINE.EXE, so not all
instances refer to entities in playfield space. Explicitly specifying
the latter now allows us to gain…

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.
