+Computing absolute transformations for given list of objects
+
+The goal is to compute absolute transformation only once for each object
+involved. Objects contained in the subtree specified by `object` list are
+divided into two groups:
+ - "joints", which are either part of `object` list or they have more than one
+   child in the subtree
+ - "non-joints", i.e. paths between joints
+
+Then for all joints their transformation (relative to parent joint) is
+computed and recursively concatenated together. Resulting transformations for
+joints which were originally in `object` list is then returned.
