A superellipoid is square, a three-d "round rect".  Cutting the top off at
an angle won't give me the rounding within the edge exposed by that cut.

But that does give me an idea:  make a cube structure (either method) and
then use a matrix scale to shear it.  I'll see what that does for me
shortly.
