That actually brings up another favorite topic: conservation of momentum
when it's a body/body collision instead of a body/world collision. That,
too, needs to be updated to use the "pre-removal" velocities for
calculation. In the end, what I got at the time was one step where the
objects were "touching," but the correct relative velocities/spins were
applied so that the next step, the right bounce/spin/movement happened.
