Higher dimensional line

[mforets]

Line is currently 2D set, but one could take it to also mean the n-dim set defined by the points p such that p = d*l + lo, where lo is a point on the line, d is a real number, and l is the direction of the line.

So what is your proposal? Generalize this type? Add a new type?

[mforets]

generalize this type.

[schillic]

I suggest to also keep the old type for specializations. A name could be Line2 (I have seen that before) or Line2D.

[mforets]

Do we have some examples that can use this specialization? I checked a bit and didn't see this advantage, then i said let's don;t specialize (yet).

Do we have some examples that can use this specialization?

The vertices_list(::AbstractHPolygon) function. And we might have to remove the concrete intersection implementation if it only works in 2D (not sure).
