Outlook

Right now I'm busy working on #78, which is a refactoring that should enable #97, which is another refactoring that will hopefully enable constructive solid geometry (#42, #43, #44). So lots of cleanup work ahead, but I think it's important to do this right. Anything else would just result in more bugs, and more work in the end.
