How about N-4cyla.dat, N-4cylb.dat, etc?
Although I have to admit -- I'm not a huge fan of saving a few lines of code
here and there. When two such primitives are adjacent, I always have to
double-check which one includes the edge(s).

You are absolutely correct, on both points.
Here's the one I would like to see the most:

I'd most like to see the cylinder with 2 edges. It's easy enough to add discs
or ndis's on the ends, as required. But I almost always require the
edge-circles.
