Well, without any other BLOB element it is at least as useful as a
normal PLANE (assuming positive strength value).
In contrast to a normal plane, which divides space into two half
spaces, my plane as a BLOB element has a default thickness (affected
by scaling transformations), so it's equivalent to the intersection of
two anti-parallel planes.
