You have to do the implementation anyway. BTW it is about 2 lines of
code for FacetSphere and WallSphere, so go ahead.

For me, there preferred way would be to add the new method (everywhere),
while keeping the old one at least for some time. (I use it in code
which is not in trunk, and it should stay compatible until I update it
everwhere as well).
