If it can sneak into trunk then I'm even happier as this will
greatly benefit the Contour Retopo add-on Patrick Moore and I
are working on.

@Jonathan, did assume you're asking about this working in
object mode?<br>
(as well as edit-mode)<br>
<br>
Well I didn't try, so not certain...<br>
but I'm not all that optimistic about this working in
object mode too,<br>
the issue there is that it has to work in many more
situations, so<br>
needs to be done more carefully and has higher chance of
breaking<br>
other draw options.<br>
Id rather get this trunk-ready editmode-only to begin
with.<br>
