//! Describes functions to build half-spaces.
//! A half-space is an infinite solid, limited by a surface. It
//! is built from a face or a shell, which bounds it, and with
//! a reference point, which specifies the side of the
//! surface where the matter of the half-space is located.
//! A half-space is a tool commonly used in topological
//! operations to cut another shape.
//! A MakeHalfSpace object provides a framework for:
//! -   defining and implementing the construction of a half-space, and
//! -   consulting the result.
