Interesting! So should we let the pyramid have a field base
which can take the value of a polygon or rectangle?
That would be cool, as far as my selfish needs are concerned, the simple ability to define the base with length and width rather than width only (square -> rectangle) would be sweet. Also, it could also be extended to a cone primitive (cylinder and cone workaround in #71) -- a pyramid with a circular base (or a pyramid is a cone with a polygon base, whichever way one might prefer)
The naming nitpicking continues. I was sitting in a lecture on tetrahedral packing today and learned a pyramid can actually have an arbitrary polygonal base. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_%28geometry%29
