OK, but how would I do CSG with the mesh containing internal triangles? I want
the internal triangles to be clipped as well.

One workaround I thought of is to have a mesh containing only boundary triangles
and use that in a clipped_by modifier for the mesh being subtracted from. But
this doesn't support full CSG. But I suppose I can figure out ways to work
around this.
