Is there a reason why copying a CSG object doesn't work like copying
a mesh? I can't figure any reason why copying a mesh just by taking
another "reference" to it but not copying the mesh data itself is ok,
but doing it for a (big) CSG is not ok.
  I think that many scenes would definitely take advantage of the memory
saving, specially with very big CSG's.
