  It's often the case that you can build the mesh without creating
duplicate vertex points at all. This way you don't have to remove anything.
  For example, if you make a box using mesh2, you simply create 8 points
in the vertex list and then use their index values in the faces list.
Similarly for more advanced shapes, usually created using loops (such
as cylinders, spheres, etc).
