  <_description>
The recursive Hilbert space-filling curve, both 2D and 3D variants.
It incrementally animates the growth and recursion to the maximum
depth, then unwinds it back.

The Hilbert path is a single contiguous line that can fill a volume
without crossing itself.  As a data structure, Hilbert paths are
useful because ordering along the curve preserves locality: points
that are close together along the curve are also close together in space.
The converse is often, but not always, true.  The coloration
reflects this.
