Hi @BrianGun, This migration would be very much appreciated. We were actually just thinking of defining B-splines/NURBS in Meshes, among others. I'm not an expert in these domains, but I'll...

Great! I am currently working to figure out a good way to integrate transforms into the library and my bandwidth won't really let me focus on this issue for now....

What should `maxdistance` do? Return the distance between a point and e.g. the farthest part of another geometry? Or is it intended for a particular set of metrics (non-Euclidean for...

For example, I could have seen `distance(metric, p1, p2)`, or am I wrong about the use of `metric` and `distance`?

I like the idea, but there are situations where such an arc [isn't unique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Manhattan_distance.svg). I don't know if it would be guaranteed to exist either. In general, I am quite...

> Can you elaborate on the corner cases where shortest arcs fall apart (non-unique)? In the picture I linked above, if you take a Manhattan/taxicab metric, you have multiple shortest...

Yes, that's not going to be easy. If we just want distances it's fine, but otherwise it is more involved. Hopefully we'll be able to rely on primitives for the...

I find Wikipedia to be a very good source of information regarding this kind of topics. They have [an article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Euclidean_geometry) about it, though to understand it properly it is required...

Addressed on `Dictionary` via #67. We can keep this issue open for further work on adding conversion methods to other dictionaries.

I am currently trying another approach from #4. Since the design is quite different than that of this work, I preferred to make it on a separate PR. But, ultimately...
