[Bf-funboard] Remove doubles issue & use for UV

[Campbell Barton]

A feature which may resolve this is an option for remove doubles.

Remove doubles (Selected -> Unselected).


This way you can control that you are merging the existing verts into
other-unselected verts, and that the verts should not me merged with
each-other.

In fact this code already exists (Auto-merge editing option does this
internally), so for mesh editing its just a matter of exposing the
option in the UI.

For UV's it'd need to be an option for welding, but shouldnt be so hard to add.

Does this sound like what you're looking for?
