In case that's to esoteric for some non-geometers here:  there are two
basic dodecahedral polyhedra that every grade schooler should know
about:

(a) the Platonic pentagonal one, and
(b) the space-filler Kepler researched quite a bit:  the rhombic dodecahedron.

So by making two namespaces, plato and kepler...

Anyway, you get the idea.
