This seems to me to be the best idea.  Allow planes on the surface of the
pieces to share the same space, but not the interiors of the same pieces.

Hmmm, this strikes me a pretty cool way to do a basic "snap to" function... when
two surfaces are near to co-planar, the program could nudge them together so
that they are actually co-planar.  This would not work all the time, obviously,
and is probably too simplistic (I'm sure one would have to have all manner of
case handlers so that the routine was smart about it), but it might be cool for
basic brick stacking, especially when a given stack of bricks is rotated at an
odd angle.

  That's a good idea, maybe I'll add it too ! You could also add another
function to align the pieces.
