Is this what wings are??

Found references to winged edges in Wings 3D website... I 
guess this is the implementation

I had originally thought it was a specialization on 
the concept of a N-edge/vertex polygon, but found out that 
wings depends on quads and tris.  

A N-edge polygon can be made up of tris (thought of as N-edge 
polygons, base case of 3 edges), arrangement is 
not important. A quad could be a kind of N-edge polygon 
where the number of edges is fixed at 4, but the representation of 
the tris in a quad is not important, and a tri could be represented 
of course as a 3-edge polygon.. 

So a quad and tri are specializations of a N-edge polygon.. 
But Wings has limited compatibility with N-edge polygons as 
it depends directly on quads/tris.. Unless there is a version of 
wings that will use N-edge polygons..
