what about deformation of shape?
I mean primitives that can be distorded.
I imagine by exemple a primitive that create a vertex array that could 
move to create sinusoidal oscillation. the aim of this primitive is to 
be mixed with other shape with somes manips2 object in order to distord 
a complex model.

or if you prefer mathematics, I imagine primitive creating an array like 
this :
X=0, Y=0, Z=sin(index + time) ; // this is only an exemple
this array is not really interesting by itself, but can be used to 
distord an original model.

does this make sense?
or maybe this is useless cause it could already be done with manips 
object (add, sinus, etc).
