bobuhito is on a distinguished road
Problems with screw symmetry (simplest example is just a tube with interior flow snaked around an infinitely long cylinder) could most easily be solved with a cyclic patch type with translation and rotation both applied, but it seems that cyclic only allows translation or rotation, not both.

Is there any reason that cyclic is so limited? or is there a different way to work these problems without changing the C code?
