I think I can follow your thoughts. Have you tried that (48/1-8tdisc) already in
some items with different curvatures? If yes and you have found out that this
can also be used without dramatically mathematics (I prefer to use triangles so
I can see that the points are correct) then I will vote on that part.
If we decide yes for this, then I think we also should create the opposite part.
