As there are only evaluated nmg and bot conversions and unevaluated brep
conversions available, I'd like to add the EXCLUDE option only.

How to deal with the likely duplication of brep primitives? For example, if
comb A.r contains 1.s and 2.s, if we convert A.r, 1.s and 2.s together, should
we generated two brep for 1.s and 2.s (one for the comb, and one for
themselves)?
