/*
 Bug
 ===

 Sometimes, the resulting polygon is not the convex hull (see below
 for an edge configuration to reproduce that problem)

 Problem analysis:
 =================

 The root cause of this bug is the fact that the second part of
 the algorithm (the 'wrapping' of the point set) relies on the
 previous theta sorting. Namely, it is required that the
 generated point ordering, when interpreted as a polygon, is not
 self-intersecting. This property, although, cannot be
 guaranteed due to limited floating point accuracy. For example,
 for two points very close together, and at the same time very
 far away from the theta reference point p1, can appear on the
 same theta value (because floating point accuracy is limited),
 although on different rays to p1 when inspected locally.

 Example:

                    /
             P3    /
               |\ /
               | /
               |/ \
             P2    \
                    \
      ...____________\
     P1

 Here, P2 and P3 are theta-equal relative to P1, but the local
 ccw measure always says 'left turn'. Thus, the convex hull is
 wrong at this place.

 Solution:
 =========

 If two points are theta-equal and checked via ccw, ccw must
 also classify them as 'equal'. Thus, the second stage of the
 convex hull algorithm sorts the first one out, effectively
 reducing a cluster of theta-equal points to only one. This
 single point can then be treated correctly.
