It's both 6259 and 6218. TLC has two different types of molds, one for
opaque parts and another for transparent.
I've been meaning to add some shortcut/redirection files to LDraw, to
handle this situation (ie, I'm going to submit a 6218.DAT that
references 6259.DAT). There are some other parts with the same problem.

Yep, we know. ;)

I thought about going with "Cylinder Half", but if we're going to have
"Brick ... Curved Top", then Panel parts should (probably) get a similar
treatment.
Or, I could just add '0 KEYWORDS panel' to this file, and set the name
as Kevin suggests.

I think I agree with this entire paragraph. :)
