I woke up this morning thinking about these prism the text face normals 
- and the internal intersection mechanism Christoph added for the 
spindle modes of the torus.

I'd been thinking we should just get the "face/end" normals right. What 
if we do that by bounding those faces internally using an intersection 
with a basic perpendicular linear prism with the appropriate point order.

We could then, somewhat by side effect, offer a face-invert feature & a 
quick way for users to get a different texture on the faces via the 
inside_texture.

Lots of paths I guess, just wondering this morning if we are not too 
looking at a chance for a new prism/text feature with the flat faces.
