Modifiers are printed as if they are separate parts #4110

Description

Whenever I add a modifier let's say extrusion multiplier, the entire region that is covered by that modifier is printed as if it is a separate object with it's own perimeters and infill.

For example:

I would like to see an option that would allow to mitigate this. This would stop any unnecessary print moves and travels that impact the quality of the print also saving time.

This would be the ideal case (modifier is removed here):

We assume that the modifier for the extrusion multiplier is still there, but now everything is printed as if there was none. External and internal perimeters are printed in one-go without any additional travel moves and infill is consistent.

This feature is missing in pretty much all of the slicers and is only available in Simplify3D.
