shafts, gears and wheels....

I had a thought last year but to late in the game to try it but I am going to see if I can cure the whole " GRUB SCREW or KEY WAY " issue.
Most people have long pondered the thought of HOW to get things to stay on shafts for a long time now and I would say we are equaly divided between the main two. I intend to try a third way and see if this works better. EDM machines are now becoming practical house hold objects so why not EDM the gears and or sprockets with Square holes, the ends of the shafts can be ground or milled to fit and fixing a square peg in a square hole is easier than round.....
Is this a worth while idea?
