Comment:

 I've just posted a patch that replaces the energy and force functions with
 ones that behave identically except in the case of total containment.  In
 the case of one icon entirely inside another, these functions have no
 plateau, and still naturally push the icons away from each other.  (It
 even breaks the symmetry if they are perfectly centered.)

 I read something on IRC about a potential memory leak in grid.py, but I
 didn't quite understand (marco?).  Given the large amount of memory that
 I'm told is saved by removing numpy from the shell, I think this should go
 in 8.2.0.  I think it's more "polish" than "blocker", but easy enough at
 this point to be worthwhile.
