query bodies created by boolean?

If a boolean subtract splits one body in two, how can I query those bodies to delete one of them?

    One way would be to query for the new faces, edges, etc., and the query for their owner bodies. So something like
     qOwnerBody(qCreatedBy(id + "boolean"))

    Naturally this will fail if the boolean was a noop... I believe the identity also propagates past the boolean, so if you have a qCreatedBy(..., EntityType.BODY) which found the target before the subtraction, it should find the resulting bodies after the subtraction.

    Great, thanks. I had the right idea, but this is much more elegant code than I had in mind.
