True. But mirroring is an advanced technique. Well, maybe
intermediate-level. Anyway, it's not for beginners.

True. Allowing mirroring/inversion for parts authors allows them to use a
single set of primitives, while keeping part-files smaller
So which would be worse, making things a bit more complicated for
power-modelers in uncommon cases, or making things a bit more complicated
for part-authors in somewhat common cases?
