 * Version 2.8   2023-11-12  A few small speed-ups (thanks, odino@deepabyss.org).
 * Version 2.7.  2022-02-27  Increase minimum thread segments.
 * Version 2.6.  2021-05-16  Contributed patches for leadin (thanks,
                             jeffery.spirko@tamucc.edu) and aligning thread
                             "facets" (triangulation) with base cylinder
                             (thanks, rambetter@protonmail.com).
 * Version 2.5.  2020-04-11  Leadin option works for internal threads.
 * Version 2.4.  2019-07-14  Add test option - do not render threads.
 * Version 2.3.  2017-08-31  Default for leadin: 0 (best for internal threads).
 * Version 2.2.  2017-01-01  Correction for angle; leadfac option.  (Thanks to
 *                           Andrew Allen <a2intl@gmail.com>.)
 * Version 2.1.  2016-12-04  Chamfer bottom end (low-z); leadin option.
 * Version 2.0.  2016-11-05  Backwards compatibility (earlier OpenSCAD) fixes.
 * Version 1.9.  2016-07-03  Option: tapered.
 * Version 1.8.  2016-01-08  Option: (non-standard) angle.
 * Version 1.7.  2015-11-28  Larger x-increment - for small-diameters.
 * Version 1.6.  2015-09-01  Options: square threads, rectangular threads.
 * Version 1.5.  2015-06-12  Options: thread_size, groove.
 * Version 1.4.  2014-10-17  Use "faces" instead of "triangles" for polyhedron
 * Version 1.3.  2013-12-01  Correct loop over turns -- don't have early cut-off
 * Version 1.2.  2012-09-09  Use discrete polyhedra rather than linear_extrude ()
 * Version 1.1.  2012-09-07  Corrected to right-hand threads!

// diameter -    outside diameter of threads in mm. Default: 8.
// pitch    -    thread axial "travel" per turn in mm.  Default: 1.
// length   -    overall axial length of thread in mm.  Default: 1.
// internal -    true = clearances for internal thread (e.g., a nut).
//               false = clearances for external thread (e.g., a bolt).
//               (Internal threads should be "cut out" from a solid using
//               difference ()).  Default: false.
// n_starts -    Number of thread starts (e.g., DNA, a "double helix," has
//               n_starts=2).  See wikipedia Screw_thread.  Default: 1.
// thread_size - (non-standard) axial width of a single thread "V" - independent
//               of pitch.  Default: same as pitch.
// groove      - (non-standard) true = subtract inverted "V" from cylinder
//                (rather thanadd protruding "V" to cylinder).  Default: false.
// square      - true = square threads (per
//               https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_thread_form).  Default:
//               false.
// rectangle   - (non-standard) "Rectangular" thread - ratio depth/(axial) width
//               Default: 0 (standard "v" thread).
// angle       - (non-standard) angle (deg) of thread side from perpendicular to
//               axis (default = standard = 30 degrees).
// taper       - diameter change per length (National Pipe Thread/ANSI B1.20.1
//               is 1" diameter per 16" length). Taper decreases from 'diameter'
//               as z increases.  Default: 0 (no taper).
// leadin      - 0 (default): no chamfer; 1: chamfer (45 degree) at max-z end;
//               2: chamfer at both ends, 3: chamfer at z=0 end.
// leadfac     - scale of leadin chamfer length (default: 1.0 = 1/2 thread).
// test        - true = do not render threads (just draw "blank" cylinder).
//               Default: false (draw threads).
