liked, but my more parametric attempts were very difficult to use.
The pitch (both axial and radial) gets specified by typing a
distance in a textbox.

separate groups. The section is swept normal to the trajectory,
producing a mesh. I'm doing the triangles only now, not copying
over any entities.
Also fix a bug in the PNG export; rows are 4-aligned, so that was
breaking when the width of the image wasn't divisible by four. Also
fix a bug in lathes, where it generated overlapping triangles for
one segment.
And change the groups to record both "this mesh", the contribution
due to the extrude/lathe/whatever, and the "running mesh", that we
get after applying the requested Boolean op between "this mesh" and
the previous group's "running mesh". I'll use that to make step and
repeats step the mesh too.

an Expr *, since that complicates multiple units and also memory
management. Now it's just a double.

axis of rotation numerically, so that the associative thing breaks,
and then it also wasn't saving the point on the axis in the file,
so that snapped back to (0, 0, 0) on reload. Now it goes off the
hEntity for a point on the axis and a vector in its direction.

So fix that, and now I can simplify what's exported for an entity.
And add an extra measurement (face-face distance/angle), and some
other little stuff.

and rotates, auto-constrain translates in active workplane, speed
up remap list search with a hash table, other stuff.

just the mesh, no derived entities (but I suppose that I could turn
all points into circles).
And fix some bugs where equations didn't get unique IDs, and make
it possible to lock on to the group's workplane automatically, if
you press W while free in 3d with no workplane selected.
