 The module provides `poly_circle()`, `poly_cylinder()` and `poly_ring()` that is useful for making printed washers and pillars.
 
+`poly_cylinder()` has a `twist` parameter which can be set to make the polygon rotate each layer.
+This can be used to mitigate the number of sides being small and make small holes stronger and more round, but is quite slow due to the
+large increase in the number of facets.
+When set to 1 the polygons alternate each layer, when set higher the rotation takes `twist + 1` layers to repeat.
+A small additional rotation is added to make the polygon rotate one more side over the length of the hole to make it appear round when
+veiwed end on.
+
+When `twist` is set the resulting cylinder is extended by `eps` at each end so that the exact length of the hole can be used without
+leaving a scar on either surface.
