Enhancement Request: Making faces invisible

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For my current project i manipulate a dynamically created mesh, moving it's
vertices and faces around.
But sometimes I want to just very temporarily remove a face. It would be
convenient to be able to set a visibility-property to false.

Currently I have to remove the face from the geometry of the mesh, and then
put it back in.

I don't know if this is worth to do, but in my case it feels like it would
be a good possibility.

I changed my PV files and got it working myself in just a couple minutes.
Added
public var hidden:Boolean=false;
to Triangle3D
and in the DefaultTriangleCuller i culled it if hidden was set to true.

A reason why I really needed this was that my code edits triangles on the mesh
depending on where in the geometry-face-array they were, so I couldn't just 
splice it
out, or setting it to null since that makes PV throws an error.

In my opinion this is more or less an add on feature, which can be added by just
working with a custom culler, in which you register triangles not to be drawn.
