Yeah, that appears to be correct, that's very interesting, good, thanks.

Linas, would you like to look at my test program and see whether I've
understood correctly how to test (make-sphere-generator '#(10 2)); if so
I think we should restrict the argument to make-sphere-generator to be a
positive integer.
