(MEL)polyDisc command does not return name of Object

[absoluteKelvin]

Why does polyDisc return polyDisc -sides 3 -subdivisionMode 4 -subdivisions 3 -radius 1; instead of the Object Name ?

This is very annoying. Most poly creation commands results in the object name instead of cmd name.

Like this

polyCube -ch on -o on -w 1.362547 -h 1.362547 -d 1.362547 -cuv 4 ;
// Result: pCube1 polyCube1 //

This is definitely a bug.
cmds.polyDisc() return nothing!

Several of these commands also don't undo at all.

 I am trying to create a mel script using polydisc but it's going to be tougher because this polyDisc command, doesn't undo like zewt says and worse the -n flag for name doesnt work on it, one has to select the polyDisc and rename it (3 steps). Why are they putting out Maya with these flawed functions?

@Anonymous  when you run polyDisc command, it auto selects the transform node. so it can be optimized into 2 steps.

polyDisc -r 1 -s 4 -sd 1;

string $polyDisc = `rename "pDiscMesh"`;

its a bummer that undo doesn't work with these commands which makes undo system broken
