Thank you Manuel.
I use regular triangulations for geometry analysis of (non-periodic) 
sphere packings in DEM simulations (http://yade-dem.org).
We recently implemented periodic boundary conditions, and I'd like to 
perform the same sort of analysis. It would have been awesome to do that 
just by changing regular traits to regular_periodic!
I think the trick of duplicating shifted spheres will do the job.

Bruno
