An orientation matrix doesn't contain enough information to invert an
asymmetrical part; if you assume it does, this would result in a part with a
mirrored shape.
I propose that (1) INVERT be explicitly used instead of relying on negative
determinants, and (2) no matrix should ever have a negative determinant.
I don't know how many asymmetrical subparts there are, if any, so I don't
know if this is a relevant point or not.
