As someone who does CAD work (product design) every day, I'm curious about the use case? Starting with Surfaces (in Creo, at least) can be provide such flexibility.

I don't have a practical usecase, it's just the fact that most CAD software is not mathematically correct that bothers me.

As far as I'm aware, we do not have the math needed to do what you're imagining. CSG requires a lot of numerical methods even for relatively simple operations.
