Comment (by vbraun):
What do you and/or your colleagues actually want to do? I doubt that
anybody ''wants'' tuples of tuples of tuples of nondescript integers
thrown at them. This is both non-discoverable (no way to figure out what
the integers mean) while at the same time very error-prone (accidentally
use the index in the wrong list and you'll get hard-to-find bugs that
yield the wrong result). Its arguably true that many students were harmed
with such anti-patterns, but its never too late to to change.
Right now the `PolyhedronFace` class isn't really complete, so presumably
we need to flesh it more out so that you can get everything you need from
the face.
