It sounds like it would work, but I'm not sure if people would go for it. Of
course, if the POTM competitions are anything to go by, you're making a majority
of the complicated parts right now, so if you go with it, that's probably all we
need ;-). It would double the number of conditionals anywhere it's used, but we
already do that with various cylinder and torus primitives, and it's not like
these kinds of curved surfaces are likely to have a huge impact on most (any?)
models.
