Well, just because it use a lozenge instead of a square. It may have an
impact on the joint (And moreover, I do not know how to make a shear).

Do you have any reference ? 
I found some naming for regular and repeating VERTEX:
00 is 4.4.4.4 
01 is 6.6.6
02 is 3.3.3.3.3.3
06 is 8.8.4
and so on.

There seems to be no convention on what the ordering should be :
 8.8.4 can also be 4.8.8 

But evenm more there is some other regular and repeating vertex which are
problematic:
the 6.3.3.3.3 can be either left-handed or right-handed.
(Ok, it's the only one, and it's not yet implemented in my code, but it does not
help
to have a meaningfull naming :-).

Last point, I thing the "." as well as "^" are illegal for token in the pov
parser,
so at best, it may be replaced with "_"

Anyway, this naming scheme would only cover part of the problem.

No, the bricks is a 3D pattern, with some 'amusing' (not) effects in the third
dimension.
These new patterns are only 2D : the third dimension is always ignored :->.
