+STL file mesh loader.
+STL is the most common file format used for 3D printing right now.
+STLs come in 2 flavors.
+       Binary, which is easy and quick to read.
+       Ascii, which is harder to read, as can come with windows, mac and unix style newlines.
+       The ascii reader has been designed so it has great compatibility with all kinds of formats or slightly broken exports from tools.
+
+This module also contains a function to save objects as an STL file.
