[Bf-committers] Crease in multires

[Doug Ollivier]

would that then break compatibility of files? or would it mean two 
smooth options would need to be offered?  perhaps the current MRM smooth 
needs also to be added to the modifier stack to offer both sub div and 
that, in order to keep backwards compatibility without it being a random 
and isolated exception.
