Right -- this would be used, for example, when displaying models in
wireframe mode, if you want to omit edges between two coplanar
triangles.  Right?

I can certainly see some uses for that -- but I don't have any
immediate need for it myself.  If it holds up your renderer, I'd say
leave it out, and consider adding it in later if users request it
(unless supporting it would require a fundamentally different approach).
