+/* Printing keycaps on their side is an easy way to get a nice, smooth top
+   surface, with some caveats:
+   1. one of the sides won't look as good as the other
+   2. any amount of top tilt makes the sides of the keycap not flat, so we have
+      to force them to be flat by making the keytop a trapezoid
+
+  sideways() does the magic for you.
+
+  Note that this won't work at all with side sculpted keycaps, skin_shape_hull,
+  and double sculpted aka full sculpted keycaps either. Getting it to work with
+  skin_shape_hull is the easiest, getting it to work with full sculpting is a
+  lot harder, and side sculpting is obviously impossible by nature
