 * \section lines-types Types of Lines
 * 
 * We have many different classes that all seem to have something to do with
 * lines. Let us here briefly explain which is which:
 * -# Line A line represents a two-dimensional object in Space stretching from
 *    and to infinity on either end.
 * -# LineSegment the segment of a line is defined through two points which form
 *    its start and end.
 * -# LinePoint a point on a specific line, identifiable and more so, alignable
 *    by its parameter LinePoint::param.
 * -# LineSegmentSet a continous set of segments of lines, i.e. such that the
 *    end point of the last is the starting point of the next.
