First of all, I like the idea of a unit capped cylinder. The stud could
then be changed to a reference to the new primitive. We could use x-ycylc
as the filenames and call the primitive Cylinder Capped. This would be

One concern about capped cylinders is that they would lead more multiples of
cylinders - single-capped cylinders, double-capped cylinders, 1/4 capped
cylinders, 2/4 capped cylinders, Hi-res 3/8 double-capped cylinders, etc.
etc. And every single capped cylinder will actually be a compound primitive
-- i.e., a composition of one or more cylinder, disc, and edge primitives.
While capped cylinders would be useful, I don’t think they would be worth the
overhead.

I agree with you in all points.
But if I see that also you are thinking that capped cylinders are useful maybe
there is somebody out who can write a prog for that. I have tried something
similar in the past and was not very happy with the handling. You can found that
on my webside (under LDraw / Programme / LDraw - Tools) as excel file
“cylindercut.xls” and “circlecut.xls”.
