So, do you want a "container" for multiple nurbs with additional "inside" property so
it can be used in further CSG operation ?
(assuming such container would assert that the collection of nurbs defines one or more
closed surfaces with non-zero enclosed volume(s))

Using the same approach as for mesh (inside_vector), it might be possible.
I just anticipate a high cpu cost.

On the same line, while we are at it, such container could also handle bicubic_patch
the same way.

Any suggestion of name for that container ?

Still any interest for nurbs.get_vertex() ? or can I forget it ?
