Hello all,
Most of the geometry that I work with in symmetric in at least one axes.  In
these case, the input file contain twice as much infomation then it needs.
If half the data were left out, it could be regenerated by changing the sign
on vertices in the mirrored direction and reversing the order vertices so
the normal will be correct.  In the case of a sphere, only 1/8 of the data
would need to be input.  The rest could be mirrored into the X, Y and Z axis
to make 1/4, then 1/2 and then the whole sphere.

Would a Mirrorable interface have any other advantages? Runtime for example?
