Hm.  I thought that it could just check the object co-ordinates and ignore
their size/shape.   I would assume most of the proximity triggers to have
much longer range than the size of the objects that trigger them, in which
case this wouldn't be a problem (just a feature :)).  I thought that in most
cases it would also make sense to check position for only a subset of
sprites:
- A specific tagged sprite (single player :))
- A specific sprite type (e.g. plane)
As it might look silly if cannon would start shooting at birds & flies.

(Haven't had time for the stuff yet, maybe next weekend...)
