Could we go with t04x0100.dat instead? The 't' would be to keep all the
torus files together. Only the 'outer' primitives would be made for
these >1:1 toruses, right? (I'm having a hard time figuring out what
the 'inner' parts would be good for, except maybe the 'inner' 1:1
torus). So we could use a different character in place of the i/o. I'm
not committed to the 'x' character, but I'd prefer something other than
an underscore. 'x' could be for x-tra big. ;)
