// This template class is a functor adaptor targetting geometric constructions.
//
// They are "robust" in the following sense : the input and output are
// approximate (doubles), but the internal computation tries to guarantees the
// approximation quantitatively.
//
// This is especially useful in order to minimize the bad things that happen
// in close-to-degenerate cases (e.g. computing the circumcenter of an almost
// flat tetrahedron).
//
// The implementation strategy is to:
// - convert the input to Lazy kernel objects
// - perform the computation with it
// - convert back to double in a guaranteed way (since Lazy_exact_nt guarantees
//   a precision on to_double).

// TODO :
// - possible improvement by avoiding the constructions of Lazy_exact_nt's.
