I was under the impression that boolops output did a roundtrip through the d= attribute; is that actually the case?
I'm not too sure - this has been a focus of much change recently. Johan, can you clarify?
If not, maybe we should; I think that is the easiest way to flatten what roundtripping would flatten.
I would like to avoid such roundtripping if at all possible, for the simple reason of performance. Writing to d= and reading from it are very slow (even though Jasper made them much faster yesterday). Remember that the entire system separating SPObjects from reprs was done in order to minimize writing to repr - I don't want to lose this speed boost for LPE paths which are slower than regular paths anyway.
