A sphere sweep combined with a prism may be a possible solution, because that
would also work for the inside of the curves, but I think that would be
extremely difficult to get just right. Plus I'd have to figure out how to
remove the square notch that the sphere sweep would fit into. This might turn
out to be a really difficult problem to solve with CSG...
