If we can only create outside sections,[1] why not keep the leading t,
but change the i/o/q? Maybe x, for extended?
As for the ratio decimals in the file name, instead of noting the
tube:major ratio (which is >1), use the inverse major:tube ratio (which
will be <1).
So the referenced r0401500.dat would become t04x6666.dat (following
Travis' suggestion, about treating nnnn notations as being exactly n/9).
As for the 1:1 torii, I'm OK with either of the earlier suggestions:
t04ounit.dat
or t04o9999.dat

1) Actually, we could create inside sections, but they probably would
only extend to the Y axis, not all way to the X-Z plane.
