But the stud subfile was mirrored.  At the lowest level, the ldraw
system doesn't differentiate parts, models, primitives, etc.  It just
knows about files.  So mirroring a stud primitive is logically identical
to mirroring an entire part.

BTW, I've submitted a fixed version of 4869 to the PT.  It correctly
rotates the stud, instead of mirroring it.
