Hmm. How would a difference operation be useful for a spiral staircase?
LDScript would have been useful for doing the risers. The angle is a
function of Y, and LDScript has looping.
That handrail would have been a pain in DAT-world, no matter how you slice
it... Oh wait, you could have used the spring utility!
Any other objections? ;)
