[Gmsh] Compsolids

Hi

In demos/boolean/ there are two files named compsolid.geo and
compsolid2.geo where OCCT's General Fuse Operator
https://www.opencascade.com/doc/occt-7.2.0/overview/html/occt_user_guides__boolean_operations.html
is called through Gmsh's BooleanFragments command.

Now, even though the files are called “compsolid” the BooleanFragments
 command does not return a CompSolid, but just a Compound. For
example, FreeCAD can perform a similar action with the “Boolean
Fragments” tool
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Part_BooleanFragments
and has an option to return either a compound or a compsolid.

Will you guys at Gmsh also add an option to really return a compsolid
or will this behavior be the final one?

Thanks
