# A pointed polyhedron realized in `R^d`.
#
# Convex hull and related algorithms use floating-point arithmetics.
# Due to numerical errors inherent to this kind of computations, the resulting
# combinatorial description can be arbitrarily far away from the truth, or even
# not correspond to any valid polytope.  You have been warned.
#
# None of the standard construction clients produces objects of this type.
# If you want to get one, create it with the explicit constructor or "re-bless"
# an existing RationalPolytope object; the coordinates stored in it don't need
# to be converted.
