"multiple objects along a cut plane" doesn't really make sense either. a plane by definition cuts any object into at most two pieces... they might be discontinuous but then they don't even touch anyway
<InPhase>
TylerTork: I've not seen a library for doing this with a cut plane in OpenSCAD. Although there are lots of good examples of joinery, but they are generally done by planning them in..
<InPhase>
TylerTork: I think planning it in will be favored by the majority, but I am sure there are lots of beginners or people using externally imported modules who would be very appreciative of a joinery cut plane module.
<InPhase>
TylerTork: The vast majority of my joinery has been by printed threading. But one of my favorites, because of how excellently it turned out, was this friction fit method designed to be intuitive to little kids: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4041401

TylerTork: Friction fit has a lot of potential with plastic, as long as you give just enough room for the plastic to flex ever so slightly, like was done there. In your machinations you could hide such a flex gap inside, if you wanted to make reversible but stable joinery.
<InPhase>
TylerTork: For hidden joinery you may want to also include self-aligning features, like tapered ends, so that the user just has to get it close and it pulls itself into the exact position.
