[Bf-committers] [bf-Committers] Edge groups?

[Duarte Ramos]

As a user I have though about this many times before, along with 'Face 
Groups" too. This would very definitely be an awesome addition.
If modifiers could access this information this could open up lots of 
very interesting options and "procedural workflows".
I would also very much like to see this clean up and unify all those 
edge tags like "Mark Seam", "Mark Sharp", "Mark crease" or "Mark 
Freestyle" under one generic edge group that would be used instead for 
that purpose.
