/*{\Mdefinition An instance |\Mvar| of type |\Mname| is the convex
hull of a multi-set |S| of points in $d$-dimensional space. We call
|S| the underlying point set and $d$ or |dim| the dimension of the
underlying space. We use |dcur| to denote the affine dimension of |S|.
The data type supports incremental construction of hulls.

The closure of the hull is maintained as a simplicial complex, i.e.,
as a collection of simplices. The intersection of any two is a face of
both\cgalFootnote{The empty set if a facet of every simplex.}. In the
sequel we reserve the word simplex for the simplices of dimension
|dcur|. For each simplex there is a handle of type |Simplex_handlex|
and for each vertex there is a handle of type |Vertex_handle|.  Each
simplex has $1 + |dcur|$ vertices indexed from $0$ to |dcur|; for a
simplex $s$ and an index $i$, |C.vertex(s,i)| returns the $i$-th
vertex of $s$. For any simplex $s$ and any index $i$ of $s$ there may
or may not be a simplex $t$ opposite to the $i$-th vertex of $s$.  The
function |C.opposite_simplex(s,i)| returns $t$ if it exists and
returns |Simplex_handle()| (the undefined handle) otherwise. If $t$
exists then $s$ and $t$ share |dcur| vertices, namely all but the
vertex with index $i$ of $s$ and the vertex with index
|C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_simplex(s,i)| of $t$. Assume that $t$
exists and let |j = C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_simplex(s,i)|.  Then
$s =$ |C.opposite_simplex(t,j)| and $i =$
|C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_simplex(t,j)|.

The boundary of the hull is also a simplicial complex. All simplices
in this complex have dimension $|dcur| - 1$.  For each boundary simplex
there is a handle of type |Facet_handle|.  Each facet has |dcur| vertices
indexed from $0$ to $|dcur| - 1$. If |dcur > 1| then for each facet $f$
and each index $i$, $0 \le i < |dcur|$, there is a facet $g$ opposite
to the $i$-th vertex of $f$.  The function |C.opposite_facet(f,i)|
returns $g$.  Two neighboring facets $f$ and $g$ share |dcur - 1|
vertices, namely all but the vertex with index $i$ of $f$ and the
vertex with index |C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_facet(f,i)| of $g$.
Let |j = C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_facet(f,i)|. Then
|f = C.opposite_facet(g,j)| and
|i = C.index_of_vertex_in_opposite_facet(g,j)|.}*/

  /*{\Mimplementation The implementation of type |\Mtype| is based on
  \cgalCite{cms:fourresults} and \cgalCite{BMS:degeneracy}.  The details of the
  implementation can be found in the implementation document available
  at the download site of this package.

  The time and space requirements are input dependent.  Let $C_1$, $C_2$,
  $C_3$, \ldots be the sequence of hulls constructed and for a point $x$
  let $k_i$ be the number of facets of $C_i$ that are visible from $x$
  and that are not already facets of $C_{i-1}$. Then the time for
  inserting $x$ is $O(|dim| \sum_i k_i)$ and the number of new simplices
  constructed during the insertion of $x$ is the number of facets of the
  hull which were not already facets of the hull before the insertion.

  The data type |\Mtype| is derived from |Regular_complex_d|. The space
  requirement of regular complexes is essentially $12(|dim| +2)$ bytes
  times the number of simplices plus the space for the points. |\Mtype|
  needs an additional $8 + (4 + x)|dim|$ bytes per simplex where $x$ is
  the space requirement of the underlying number type and an additional
  $12$ bytes per point. The total is therefore $(16 + x)|dim| + 32$
  bytes times the number of simplices plus $28 + x \cdot |dim|$ bytes
  times the number of points.}*/
