Research direction

Start by searching the repository for ForwardProjectorByBinUsingRayTracing and any explicit selection paths. Check whether tests or configuration references remain, and compare the ray-tracing matrix path as needed; done means the obsolete implementation and its references are removed without affecting the replacement behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This code very old and is superseded by the ray-tracing matrix. It should (and did) produce the same results, but was doing every calculation on-the-fly, with hard-coded symmetry calculations. it is therefore hard to maintain. This will create problems for instance in #618.

As far as I know, it is not used anywhere, except when the user asks for it explicitly. It might even no longer be tested.

Best to remove it therefore.
