"package", "bundle", "parcel", "lot", "bunch" ?????

On the same way as mesh supports flat triangle and smooth triangle, I do not see why
the "object" holding nurbs couldn't also hold other 2D finite primitives.
To the risk of getting another (bad & slow) kind of mesh (as a collection of
triangles).

nurbs, bicubic_patch... may be some other objects could also be added ?
