I remember a lot of back and forth when we crafted the rasterization
rules for point sprites.  I believe the intention was that
implementations could either decompose a point sprite into a quad / two
triangles or reuse the existing wide point rasterization hardware.  At
the end of the day, it is a big mess and a pain in the behind.
