// These options will probably be necessary, in fact, to get the child correctly positioned. Note that

// Attached children may be ovarlapped into the parent a bit, as given by the `$overlap` value
// You can overlap attached children into the parent by giving the `$overlap` value
// which is 0 by default, or by the `overlap=` argument. This is to prevent OpenSCAD
// from making non-manifold objects. You can define `$overlap=` as an argument in a parent
// module to set the default for all attachments to it.
// module to set the default for all attachments to it. When you give `inside=true`, a positive overlap
// value shifts the child object outward.
// .
// If you specify an `inset=` value then the child is shifted away from any edges it is aligned to, towards the middle
// of the parent. The `shiftout=` parameter is intended to simplify differences with aligned objects
// placed inside the parent. It will shift the child outward along every direction where it is aligned with
// the parent. For an inside child this is equivalent to giving a positive overlap and negative inset value.
// For a child with `inside=false` it is equivalent to a negative overlap and negative inset.
