[vtk-developers] Why not vtkTriangleFan?

Just out of curiosity...
Why is there a vtkTriangleStrip but not vtkTriangleFan? Is it simply
because noone's implemented it, or is there a deeper reason lurking around?
It looks like using a triangle fan for something like vtkConeSource would
save almost 2*sizeof(vtkIdType) bytes per triangle. That will add up in a
hurry when drawing large numbers of these - say, a few million.
Am I missing something?
