--- Short description of error ---
the beaut option in the triangulation modifier does not give the same result as the beauty face triangulation. see attached screenshot

--- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

1. open attached blend file
2. select the object named modifier and turn the beauty option of the modifier on and off, notice no difference
3. select the object which is called no triangulation and use Triangulate face (ctrl+t) on it (in edit mode of course) and enable/disable the beauty option.
4. notice the beauty option of the triangulation will give a beatyful result;D

This is not a bug, beauty option for Ctrl+T runs beauty fill, after triangulate.
for the modifier is just changes the selection of edges when using quads.

this was probably formulated a bit bad, and as discussed in irc the functionality of the modifier flag is not for ngons.
however from a user perspective i strongly feel that it requires a additional flag for ngons which works like the beauty flag of the normal quad to tris beauty flag.
