Correct.

Um, no.  That's not what separatepoles means at all.  It just means 
make_passable() is bypassed and there is no need for the poles to be 
_separate_.  They still exist.

Why one would want such an option I'm not sure of.  But I do believe 
that SMAC compatability would want to disable separatepoles while 
generally leaving poles turned on.
