As pointed out before, the cubic spline in the spline{} feature is very
different from the cubic spline used in prisms and lathes. I am well capable
of closing a cubic spline in a prism or lathe, but to close the cubic spline
used in the spline{} feature is a completely different matter, which I have
not yet succeeded in (if it's possible at all).
