[Bf-committers] collapse/flatten modifier stack?

[Bassam Kurdali]

The original object is fine, yes, and has all the modifiers intact. the
new object is the *unmodified* mesh, not the end result of the modifier
stack, which is what I'm trying to get.
I would do it by applying modifiers, but, with multimodifiers, applying
one at a time is not going to work (unless someone can tell me how)
TL;DR: bpy.ops.object.convert isn't the answer.
cheers
