Well, depends on what you mean by "bevelling" for those other 
objects...a bevelled box would require very different calculations than 
a bevelled cylinder , and there are far more efficient ways of doing 
those objects than shearing and CSG'ing a bunch of pieces(and how do you 
bevel the edges of a sphere or torus?). Also, your object needs to be 
aligned so that the part being bevelled is up against a plane and no 
other parts are on the other side or within the bevelling depth of that 
plane. This is what kept me from writing a general "BevelObject()" macro.
