In principle this sounds OK to me, but I would want to be somewhat restrictive
about how many new files we have - 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 sound good combinations. What
others?
Regarding a naming convention, though, do we know how all renderers recognise
STUDx primitives to do the STU2x substitution for fast-draw mode? To avoid any
conflict here, and to add further value to the name, how about something like
STUCx-z meaning Stud Cluster x by z. I dont see any value in both x and z going
to 2 digits. The existing parts\s\4186a.dat would become p\stuc1-48.dat. I'm
also assuming here that this would only be of value for regular stud.dat
primitives, so we dont need an extra character to capture the x in STUDx.DAT.
