Hello Murray---I agree. But, a perhaps a trick might be in finding a
parameterization that does the particular filling that the user has in
mind? My first guess is that one would want ParametricPlot only to be
able to fill when two curves are available, and then fill according to
the positions corresponding to the same parameters.
(*My students always like this example... If you try a Manipulate on
this example---it gives puzzling results that I haven't tracked down
yet; but are probably associated with the fast rendering not getting
updated in the manipulate when a Mesh is rendered. *)
