I think there exist some iso_surface approximation macros, not
sure about anything else. Of course, most primitives could also be
expressed using an implicit function, and CSG can be implemented using
min/max functions, so you could in theory generate iso_surface versions
even for rather complex objects and use these as the basis for mesh
generation.

However, as far as I understand it these macros are very slow even for 
normal functions, let alone those representing a complex CSG object.

The main problem to be solved is most certainly not the syntax.
