Manfred Moolhuysen developed this naming convention and posted (probably to
the old lcad list) in May 1998, but I cannot locate a copy right now. IIRC
the # was intended to indicate that the missing edges were not adjacent
(which is what the '-' means in other primitives) but in a parallel set. I'm
happy to use another (more html acceptable) character, but not '-'. I prefer
the underscore '_' character. We can replace box3#8 with a moved to file in
the interim.
