Yep, this is the "non-power-user" approach. And I think toTopoGeometry
is helping a lot with that. But of course you'll want to go deeper to
really see the benefits of the topological model.
As Pierre pointed out: why are my TopoGeometry overlapping ?! :)
So next step from a naive user might be using the model to _see_ the
overlaps and gaps and clean them up. But I don't think this "cleaning"
would involve removing edges. Rather I'd see an use for friendly
TopoGeometry editors.
Something like: TopoGeom_{add,rem}{Face,Edge,Node,TopoGeometry}
