OpenSCAD has trouble with coincident faces. You have to make the one you're
subtracting a little longer.

It upsets me for quite a while.

Whenever I cut something, say with a cylinder, I always need to make it
longer than the cut hole.

If I don’t, the hole is displayed on screen in a flipping on/off state,
while if I make it longer by one unit, the hole appears integrally cut.

This creates an induced imprecision in most of the drawings.
