Adding the mesh2 is not useful as the only difference is in how the 
definition is written. The internal representation and rendered result 
are identical.

conic_sweep is a modifier for the prism object. It would be nice to show 
one with the conic_sweep option used.

julia is a pattern that you can apply to any object.

sky_sphere is not an object but a background feature.
