I've just had a quick look at the source code; there are actually a lot
more primitives that seem to share data than I remembered:

- blob
- height_field
- isosurface (sharing the function code)
- lathe
- mesh / mesh2
- polygon
- prism
- sor
- text (data shared on a per-character basis)

Also, I might have missed one or two others. I just had a cursory glance.
