Finite Patch Primitives

There are six totally thin, finite objects which have no well-defined inside. They are bicubic patch, disc, smooth triangle, triangle, polygon and mesh. They may be combined in CSG union but cannot be use in other types of CSG (or inside a clipped_by statement). Because these types are finite POV-Ray can use automatic bounding on them to speed up rendering time. As with all shapes they can be translated, rotated and scaled.
