... just a bug or is there a fundamental reason why it doesn't?
If it did you could solve the problem with
function toto(k) = k ? toto(k-1) + k : 0;

Good work Chris, hope to see more.

Technically openscad (cgal) will create a point when you intersect the
corners of two cubes:
module point(){
intersection(){
cube([1,1,1]);
translate([-1,-1,-1])cube([1,1,1]);
}
}
Two problems with this though.
1) its not visible in openscad even when show edges is enabled
2) it crashes...
