Can I just copy inhit and outhit directly for every partition in the list?

"The partition structure contains information about intervals of the ray
which pass through geometry. A partition consists of one or more segments,
which are woven together via rt_boolweave to form the final "solid"
partitions that describe solid segments of geometry along a given ray."
I'm a little unsure about it myself. It seems to me the difference is that
the partitions are non-overlaping sections of a ray, while the initial
primitive intersect segment list sections may overlap. It also looks like
the partition segments contain, by definition, solid sections.
Yes for starters just copying the inhit and outhit for every partition in
the list should do the trick.
