I don't see how it would be a problem...just include a 
"preserve_textures" option for objects being added to meshes. If it is 
on, the triangles get the texture of the original object, if it is off 
you get an untextured mesh.

I once attempted a patch that would allow any warp to be applied to a 
mesh...my only problem was that I couldn't seem to move the mesh points. 
My attempts all resulted in "scrambled triangles".
