Setting slope to zero is the same as setting horizontal beams, right?
So what you say is that to get slope-limit to work I will have to also
change #'height.
I tried doing that, and (unless I set height to zero) I was unable to
get horizontal beams.
I really don't understand, and I STILL cannot produce an example where
setting slope-limit makes any difference.

The example doesn't mention slope-limit.
If someone would please produce some slope-limit example where removing
"slope-limit" would do something to the output.
