Are there some good reasons not to have given direct access to members
of Performer C++API classes (reasons more important than performance!)

2 examples:

1) the only way to access the pfPlanes of a pfPolytope (without a copy)
is to subclass it (the "facets" member is protected),

2) there is no way to access the culling pfPolytopes of a pfChannel
(without a copy) (the "cullVol" and "nomCullVol" members are privates).

???
