Indeed! If I am right, that is the basis of Gena Obukhov's POV-Tree utility 
where the complete tree is englobed into a single mesh object. 
Unfortunately, Gena never released a mesh2 version though. Another oldy who 
did the same is Paul T. Dawson with meshtree.inc (1999).

So, a utility to turn complex csg objects into a single mesh2 would be 
extremely valuable indeed.
