Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I thought what Walter was posting about
was that he was experimenting with various sizes of circular openings, not,
as James mentioned, actual shapes (e.g. octagonal, square; or maybe keep it
circular but widen quickly, narrow, then widen again).

Thanks for the information - I'll look into that.
