Just like there are a huge number of different box primitives, with different
number of edges and surfaces, I wish there were some more cylinder primitives
from n-ncyli.dat

We have:
* cyli = cylinder with walls, no edges, no disc
On my wish list:
* a "stud.dat" but r=1 instead of 6, and h=1; edges at base and top, disc at
top.
* same as above but without disc
* same as "stud.dat" but without edge at base
* maybe a solid rod; edges and discs at base and top?

If more folks like this idea, how should we name the new primitives?

Sounds good, I could have used this part several times.
Another series "primitive" part I use is x-xhole.dat and x-xhola.dat. They get
inlined before the part gets released.  The x-xhole.dat is made up of an edge,
ndis, cyli, edge, and a ndis. The x-xhola.dat is made up of an edge, ndis, and a
cyli. They both have a radius of 1 and a thickness of 1. Typically a primitive
file does not reference another file(s), so these may not actually qualify as
primitives.

But you could inline the constituents and make them primitives.

(...) There is no rule against primitive files calling to other \P files. I didn't have to look very long to find one. And if we inlined them, I suspect the primitive substitution in L3P will not work until L3P is updated to support the new ones. (...) (19 years ago, 14-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
