Aarrrgh!  That's annoying, will have to rethink how to implement this
game thingy that I'm making then.

Is there a way to tell which objects have collided?  Would be cool to be
able to get a collision list: a list of pairs of object ids, each pair
being a collision between two objects.  This would enable e.g.
bullet/asteroid collisions to do something but asteroid/asteroid or
bullet/bullet collisions to do nothing.
