[Bf-funboard] Unified editmode

["Juan J. Peña M."]

Who said that you HAVE TO be in edit mode to snap to a vertex.  Right 
now you have to, but that could be solved.

What if the snap tools allowed to sanap to any vertex, regarless if the 
vertex belongs to the active object or not. (Think of a X-Ray mode, 
where you can see and snap to any  vertex on eny object, even if the 
object isn´t in edit mode. Sitll, yo could only edit the vertex of your 
current active object).

Joining and then separing meshes has 3 huge drawbacks:
A.- The transformation matrix is lost, including local center, scaling, 
rotations, etc. etc. etc.
B.- Parenting relationships, as well as object constraints are lost.
C.- IIRC there is a maximum vertex count per object that Blender can handle.
