I'm not sure about this, but I have the impression that the contained_by
object has nothing (or at least very little) to do with the actual sphere or
box primitives. The syntax is just the same for convenience, but internally
it's not a primitive, but just ranges that limit the calculations to certain
limits (isosurfaces must be calculated inside certain limits; you can't have
infinite isosurfaces).
