An error code?  That doesn't seem very useful.

Wouldn't iGeom_unitEnts essentially always produce multiple volumes?
Doesn't this just mean that iGeom needs to be fixed?  Either it returns
bodies and includes an API for getting the volumes constituting the
volume, or it always speaks in terms of volumes and deal with groups of
volumes when appropriate.
