No, unfortunately not. Also, you should be aware that
min_extent and max_extent do not reliably represent the
minimal bounding box of the object, and that the object
used for cutting a hole should be thicker by at least
a tiny amount than the wall, as coincident surfaces
produce unreliable results as well.
