Needed Command Functionality

+* some way to adjust subdivision/smoothness; any global setting could be covered by '''set''' (see below) and any attribute by '''setattr''', but there could also be options in '''surface''', '''cartoon''' and/or a top-level '''quality''' command or logical equivalent
 
 Extremely useful catchalls, suggest retaining as permanent commands even though there will be some redundancy:
-* '''set''' global settings: silhouettes, background color, shadows, lighting (if many sub-options, e.g. lighting, judiciously consider making a separate top-level command; also keeping a redundant but longer '''set''' command is OK with me) 
+* '''set''' global settings: silhouettes, background color, depth-cuing, shadows, lighting (if many sub-options, e.g. lighting, judiciously consider making a separate top-level command; also keeping a redundant but longer '''set''' command is OK with me)
