(Wish) _pipe with option deformable

currently my students use _pipe with small (0.3 mm) radii to mark drafting lines on 3d-printed parts. The parts serve as prototype / molding. There is some struggle with Boolean Union / Difference, which seams to be related to the Surface Seam and Knot structure of true Circles.

_circle deformable, around curve
_sweep1
give more robust results - and enough precision

so maybe it would be nice to have a deformable option for:
_pipe
_cylinder
_torus
(and all other circular / similar commands ?)
???
and would be nice to allow Degree 1 starting with 3 points ( a Polygon like curve in section…
Degree 1, 4 points will result in a square like pipe…

I am not in a hurry with this wish - but it would be nice to have.

kind regards -tom
