    // DEFINITION
    //
    // The boundary representation of a 3d-polyhedron P of the type
    // Polyhedron consists of vertices, edges and facets. The
    // vertices are points in space. The edges are straight line
    // segments. The facets are planar polygons. We restrict here
    // the facets to be simple planar polygons without holes and the
    // boundary of the polyhedron to be an oriented 2-manifold. Thus
    // facets are consistently oriented and an edge is incident to
    // exactly two facets. We restrict the representation further
    // that an edge has two distinct incident endpoints and
    // following duality that an edge has two distinct incident
    // facets. The class Polyhedron is able to guarantee
    // the combinatorial properties, but not all geometric
    // properties. Support functions are provided for testing
    // geometric properties, e.g. test for self intersections which
    // is  too expensive to be guaranteed as a class invariant.
