I never got into that, though I have seen code of those that do.

The image I was trying to convey was a stage metaphore:
   On stage--        object is visible
   In wings--        object is expected to become visible in a timely 
manner
   In green room--   object might become visible, but slow response is OK

For example, if an object was near the window of visibility and might 
be quickly scrolled into it, then it would be "in wings".  If it would 
take lots of scrolling or some hops to get to it, then it would be "in 
green room".

I probably butchered the terminology as those in theater might already 
see.
