37 page paper to ... concatenate spheres and cylinders/cones.
Just like I've (re)written hundreds of times every time I want to graph
something.

But - what's that? They calculate the tangents between the spheres to smoothly
connect them?

And the manuscript was written in ... 2019?

Must just be wild coincidence.
Just like that curvature of splines YT video.

But I do think that we can rewrite the spheresweep with some better code - both
