It'll be difficult to do with a script because the script will have a tough time figuring out which of those resulting edges is the one that should be extracted.

But I think this is something that I could tune up to work like you want just built into the regular command for v2.

But it may be a better match with the Construct / Curve / Isect command instead of boolean intersection, because that curve one is oriented towards creating curve outputs only.

The boolean one is more focused on creating surfaces in situations like that, and although the surfaces in your example are not useful, if one of the curves is closed, it will create this:



Which is more of a potentially useful thing. If I changed boolean intersection to generate the curve in this situation, it would take away this particular surface construction ability. On the other hand, the other "create intersection curves" version does not do anything at all in this situation, so it fits kind of easier in there without taking anything away.

How does that sound?
