I have asked the OP repeatedly for his use case so I could first determine the changes required to support his needs, and then determine the consequences of those changes...

One can find `Object3D.rotateAroundWorldAxis( point, axis, angle )` in [this stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/32038265/1461008). [Previously](https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/3211#issuecomment-15163926) @mrdoob was not in favor of adding this method. I'm OK with that decision.

Sorry, my incidental clicks changed the original post. I think I restored it. I thought one could only toggle a check box by "editing" the post... but apparently that is...

I refactored the area light code and I am familiar with it, too. For shadow support, see https://eheitzresearch.wordpress.com/705-2/.

@bhouston Oh, yeah... there is also https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/13057. If you read the entire discussion, I think the consensus was to add 'cookie' support to `SpotLight`, which would presumably allow for a...
