[Bf-committers] Mirror and array modifiers for curves

[Sergey I. Sharybin]

Why can't we use mesh to store only constructed curves/surfaces?  IMHO 
in this case we shouldn't use any tricks to handle weight and to 
reconstruct curve from mesh.

And as I wrote earlier, we could add modifiers, ahich will affects on 
curve data (if I'm right is stores in DispList) and bevel/tape objects/

Which approach does the community prefer?
