Note that Vector_3 is the concept of a normal vector (always) oriented.
- Point_with_normal_3 is now templated by the normal type.
Types currently available are:
-> Vector_3 (the default)
-> Orientable_normal_3 (used by Point_set_3 for point cloud processing)
-> Lightweight_vector_3 = a normal whose vector is allocated only if not zero (used by Poisson 3D triangulation).
We have now 2 corresponding concepts:
-> PointWithNormal_3 = a point + a normal (always) oriented.
-> PointWithOrientableNormal_3 = a point + a normal oriented or not.
The purpose is to save memory space and to better document the requirements of algorithms processing normals.
