I thought of that, but liked the idea of more descriptive names, like the
rect*.dat series. The '1' would in this case stand for number of discs, and '2'
for number of edges. But I could definifly live with cyla, cylb etc too.

Same here. Returning to the rect primitivs, the edges are not always very
logically placed.

That's my second highest request. I haven't even thought of adding ndiscs,
because you might want rings just as often. But a disc or maybe two can be very
useful.
