The modeller should take care of this itself.

In fact i even think a box with two identical points should generate an
error or warning since it is not very clear if this results in no object
or a single point.  Equally it's not clear what to make of a cylinder with
identical end and base point (you could expect nothing, a point or a
sphere), just dropping it would be incorrect.
