If we need to "kick this idea around" then I have to ask, why is this
being added during a CVS freeze? It doesn't really fix a bug, and I
don't think it's filling a hole in the API. I believe the commit said it
was to avoid creating a mesh just to fill it, but that just means this
is redundant. This is not coming from me as the "Mesh API father", it
just seems rushed.
