BTW, if you're worried that the extensions might seriously impact
performance (which I doubt), you might have a look at the "torus"
primitive, which currently maps to two different C++ objects depending
on the parameters chosen: "Torus" for the standard case, and
"SpindleTorus" for the case of a self-intersecting torus.
