Hmm, it might be possible to add a third type of solving algorithm which 
works the same way the isosurface code does, but with hard coded 
functions. It would be faster than isosurfaces or isoblobs(I don't know 
how much though), and might be faster than the two current methods. Or 
it might be slower. Actually, I think this is how the isoblob shape got 
started-an enhancement to the blob shape giving it a solving algorithm 
which works like the isosurface's.
