What we ought to have for every shape and it bounding scheme is something along
the lines of:

https://www.geometrictools.com/Documentation/IntersectionLineCone.pdf

So that we have our own POV-Ray "owned" copy of the theoretical and practical
development of the source code.

That way people can pick it up, get on track very quickly, and understand what,
why, and how.

The provision of clear, well labeled diagrams probably can't be overstated.
