[Gmsh] high order meshes and interior elements

Dear Gmsh dev,

Is that possible to get with Gmsh a straight edge high order mesh in
interior elements (not sharing a face with the boundary) ?
it seems that interior elements are really curved, is there a reason why ?
is the option Mesh.SmoothInternalEdges = 1; helping with this ?

with straight edge interior elements we could then affine
transformations which would be much cheaper computationnally, no ?

Best regards
C.
