and then a bunch of stuff relating to cylinders and clusters. I can
include that as well if you like, but I'm guessing it is going to be
prohibitively large(I did not let it finish.)

 I'll give current a shot, but I prefer to avoid it for this box, as any
issues that it has are a large inconvenience.
