\ccDefinition
Implements the {\em sliding midpoint} splitting rule.
This is a modification of the \ccc{Midpoint_of_rectangle} splitting rule.
It first attempts to perform a midpoint of rectangle split as
described above. If data points lie on both sides of the separating
plane the sliding midpoint rule computes the same separator as
the midpoint of rectangle rule. If the data points lie only on one
side it avoids this by sliding the separator, computed by
the midpoint of rectangle rule, to the nearest datapoint.

\ccParameters

Expects for the first template argument a model of the concept
\ccc{SearchTraits}, for example \ccc{CGAL::Cartesian_d<double>}.

the type, \ccc{CGAL::Plane_separator<Traits::FT>}.
