NODE PROPOSAL: srfNormals

The means of illustrating the surface orientation by displaying normals would offer great utility when working with nodes.
For instance extruding can sometimes give unexpected results due to false assumption of the orientation of faces.

Michael introduced functions for evaluating surface normals by scripts with v4 beta:
face.evaluateNormal( uv ) : Function that evaluates a uv parameter value and returns a normal vector.
I'm not sure whether Michael has builtin a normal vector display or whether it needs to be displayed as per existing vector nodes

See the full list of surface evaluation functions here:

Another useful feature would be the inclusion of the facility to unify normals across a polysurface.
Disregard sentence above. Also see link suggested by Michael below:
