'''
    This code proves mostly that I write the longest programs.
    I did not investigate a direct translation from the tcl version to python.
    The code includes doctests.  Suggested program use:

    $ python3 -m doctest hexagons.py

    Rotations support comes in name only.  A full blown 3D system
    with homogeneous coordinates seemed overboard.

    '''
        Base provides default __init__ and __repr__ methods
        for simple classes.  The subclass includes a set of
        mandatory_arguments .  See examples.

        The logic---yes, I have a reason---for using Base:
        It has been said that using attribute names is
        "good style" making for "clearly written code" and so forth.

        The Base constructor REQUIRES keyword arguments when used.
        You can get around this using a factory function to wrap
        object construction.  (Because it is, in my opinion, also
        ridiculous to write the keywords over and over when you
        have many of the same objects/function to create/call.)
        See example in doctest:

        >>> Base(a=3)   # support doctest with command $ python3 -m doctest -v this.file
        Base(**{'a': 3})
        >>> f = lambda a: Base(a=a)
        >>> f(1)
        Base(**{'a': 1})
        >>> f('alpha')
        Base(**{'a': 'alpha'})
