[Bf-python] BMesh python api proposal.

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi,

It's a bit inconvenient to do this, but it's still just two lines of
code to create and delete the datablock. What are you expecting the
function obj.get_visible_derived_mesh(scene) to do different? Be more
efficient, have some extra functionality?

I don't expect derived mesh stuff will change here.

Brecht.
