This comment is actually incorrect at the moment - F16 is still using
smoothstep. There are various issues with F16 right now (some inconsistent logic
like this, and the fact that it's not fully hooked up end-to-end in SampleApp).
Not sure how much of a priority that is, vs. other aspects right now.
