That isn't right either. I'm not reporting a bug or asking for a feature; I'm 
asking for help understanding the code so that I can add a feature.

Unfortunately there is no mailing list yet - but feel free to open new
issue(s) at the github repo and we can discuss there:
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL/issues

Looks like I need more help than belongs on the discuss list. Is there a 
mailing list for MDAL?

Bezitopo and PerfectTIN, from which I'll be porting the TIN read/write 
routines, use a sort of winged-edge data structure. But the points, edges, and 
triangles are held in STL maps, which have to be in memory.
