You can't delete edges currently, it'd be super handy.

    What should this actually do? just hide the edges? If all
    edges of a point are selected, should it remove the vertex as
    well?

    I think i already talked about this, too.

    There needs to be two versions:

    - delete edge: which removes related vertices and faces as well
    - remove edge: which only removes the edge but not the
    vertices ... so it's like a" join 2 faces" ... oh this is an
    interesting aspect: join faces ... might be a new
    function/workflow ... or is it just a different name for the
    same thing??!!

    Interesting aspect to this: Say we did a remove on some
    edges (the one that doesn't delete faces), and all the edges
    on a vertex were removed.

    Q: Should the vertex be remove as well, since it provides no
    real information to the polygon (all polygons should never
    have interioir vertices. Polygons are supposed to be planar
    things, and interior vertices offer no help (and actually makes
    things worse) for this constraint.

    For example, consider a square plane that was divided 5
    times. So we have 25 little squares next to each other. If we
    selected all the interioir edges, did a remove, should we end
    up with 4 vertices, 2 triangles and one polygon?
