Well, I call it also a skirt, or at least I realize I can use it as a skirt 
on a female figure. But then, fashion being what it is, skirts for males 
will be hot next season! Years ago, my wife and I imagined exactly that for 
fun :-)

Perhaps not too difficult to do a wrap. I have done something of the sort 
with wrapping a rope around a post. Basically, it is extruding, translating, 
rotating, extruding, translating, rotating, etc, etc, etc. tedious but not 
impossible.

Oh sure, that works fine. However, for more complex things that does not 
really work well. Watch the upcoming Take 5 to see what I mean.
