I really liked the passage about the american football and other real
evocations. It gave flesh to the description.
The constraint on minimal inner_radius is really a dangerous beast:
If base & cap radius are both 0, the inner_radius must be at least half
the distance between base and cap point (it would be a sphere)
So, as stated, the doc is false.
If base & cap radius are identical, the minimal inner_radius would be
sqrt( radius² + (distance/2)² ) , where distance is the length between
base and cap points.
when base & cap radius are different, it become nightmare (the exact
equation is in the code, if you dare to want to know it).
