Based on simple heuristics and OGGM's flowline algorithm, it should be possible to develop a tool able to detect glaciers that need to be divided.

For example:

is the max elevation of a glacier on the outline of far into the geometry?
do the centerlines have to up glacier?
etc.

Having a flag in the RGI tagging potentially "undivided" geometries would be quite useful...

fmaussion added this to the RGI7 milestone
