/// A directed edge, defined in a surface's 2D space
///
/// The concept of an "edge" in Fornjot is represented by two structs,
/// `HalfEdge` and [`GlobalEdge`]. `HalfEdge` has two attributes that make it
/// distinct from [`GlobalEdge`]:
///
/// - `HalfEdge` is directed, meaning it has a defined start and end vertex.
/// - `HalfEdge` is defined in the 2-dimensional space of a surface.
///
/// When multiple faces, which are bound by edges, are combined to form a solid,
/// the `HalfEdge`s that bound the face on the surface are then coincident with
/// the `HalfEdge`s of other faces, where those faces touch. Those coincident
/// `HalfEdge`s are different representations of the same edge. This edge is
/// represented by an instance of [`GlobalEdge`].
///
/// There are some requirements that a `HalfEdge` needs to uphold to be valid:
///
/// 1. Coincident `HalfEdge`s *must* refer to the same [`GlobalEdge`].
/// 2. `HalfEdge`s that are coincident, i.e. located in the same space, must
///    always be congruent. This means they must coincide *exactly*. The overlap
///    must be complete. None of the coincident `HalfEdge`s must overlap with
///    just a section of another.
///
/// That second requirement means that a `HalfEdge` might need to be split into
/// multiple smaller `HalfEdge`s that are each coincident with a `HalfEdge` in
/// another face.
///
/// # Implementation Note
///
/// There is no validation code that verifies whether coincident `HalfEdge`s
/// refer to the same [`GlobalEdge`] or not:
/// <https://github.com/hannobraun/Fornjot/issues/1594>
///
/// Conversely, there is no validation code to verify that coincident
/// `HalfEdge`s are congruent:
/// <https://github.com/hannobraun/Fornjot/issues/1608>

///

///
/// If `GlobalEdge` had `Eq`/`PartialEq` implementations, it containing no data
/// would mean that all instances of `GlobalEdge` would be considered equal.
/// This would be very error-prone.
///
/// If you need to reference a `GlobalEdge` from a struct that needs to derive
/// `Eq`/`Ord`/..., you can use `HandleWrapper<GlobalEdge>` to do that. It will
/// use `Handle::id` to provide those `Eq`/`Ord`/... implementations.
