Over at https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/49325/is-there-a-way-to-trick-or-configure-the-affinewar.html , @whit requested the ability for the AffineWarper to have an option that could be set to indicate that the Control Vectors are coming in first. If set, then once the first non-control vector input arrived, we could compute the affine transformation and send all non-control-vectors on their way, warped as can be. The RubberSheeter would presumably get the same treatment.
