Yes, not to mention that any sane 3D file format stores polygons as lists
of indices rather than lists of vertex positions, so exporting polygons
from the Blender API requires some rather creative coding!  I particularly
like the O(n^2) algorithm of doing a linear search through the main vertex
list for each polygon vertex to find a vertex that matches, and then using
that index for your output...
