whether the original lines should be kept and made construction, or
deleted.

and cubics. Also add that to the library interface.
It might have been better to use a single constraint for that,
plus all the line-curve or line-line cases, but it would break
backwards compatibility if I did that now, and perhaps be
confusing with the 'other' member (which is meaningless for
lines) anyways.

their endpoints.
Also change constraint solver matrix size to 1024, on the theory
that a power of two will generate better array indexing, and
replace fabs() with my own function that for some reason is
faster.

you cross pi radians. A gear shift approach, use either sin or cos,

And report a NaN constraint as unconverged, of course.

And fix some bugs where equations didn't get unique IDs, and make

you press W while free in 3d with no workplane selected.

and requests to a separate list. It's messy, because I have to make
a deep copy (e.g. of the remap list for the groups, or Expr *
stuff) of some things. Others (e.g. the polygon or mesh) will be
regenerated, so they should be discarded, but they must not get
double-freed.
In any case, works superficially. And fix a few memory leaks
unrelated to this, and remove some dead code.

BSP stuff works. The failures are reported with red stripes and no

Also improve convergence of point-on-line constraints, and don't

that was making the coplanar tests fail.

becomes dirty when the user makes a change, and only the dirty
groups get solved. That's a huge effective speedup.
Also add delete function for groups. That has an interesting issue;
it actually ends up recursing on GenerateAll(), since GenerateAll()
calls ClearSuper(), ClearSuper() might need to recreate a group (if
all the groups were deleted), and that would activate the group,
which calls GenerateAll. The right solution is probably a deferred
execution mechanism, where you can schedule something to happen
before we go idle, but not do it right now.

that's unlikely to be anything but confusing (and in any case, was
badly implemented). This is in preparation for selective solving,
of only the dirty groups.

implement that. Also make solver work only between the first and
last visible group; earlier can just work from previous solve
result, and later don't matter.
There's some issues with the csg code; it will eventually produce
an open mesh, which is very bad. Not sure whether that's a logic
bug, or a numerical issue; still generating absurd triangles pretty
routinely.

that's in a group that solves after the current group. This means
that the constraint/request gets deleted instantly, and stuff like
auto-constraints on the just-created entities blow up. I now check
that the active workplane comes from the active group or one solved
before it.

dot product against a rotated vector to zero. The drawing is the

Also add a function to clear non-existent items on the selection
