And compared to mesh, it's only cloud of points without the myriad of
links (in a mesh, a point can be part of many links / faces). The point
is just a bit more complex that just coordinates. But only a single set
of data to scan, nice.

Remind me of impressionists' approach: collection of coloured dots gave
lots of nice pictures. The movement eventually turned in
Neo-impressionism or divisionism (or pointillism).

All that happened in 1880's... computers are so slow to adopt something.
