// \brief Set of intersection functions
// \author Jan 25, 2007 Gamze Tunali
//
// For intersections of "homogeneous coordinates" objects like vgl_homg_line_2d<T>,
// see the static methods of vgl/algo/vgl_homg_operators_2d<T> and _3d.
//
// \verbatim
//  Modifications
//   01 Mar 2007 - Gamze Tunali - split up into vgl/algo and vgl parts
//   21 Jul 2009 - Peter Vanroose - added box intersection (2d and 3d)
//   21 Jul 2009 - Peter Vanroose - added inlined point intersection functions
