/** This interface represents a region of a space as a partition.
* Region are subsets of a space, they can be infinite (whole
* space, half space, infinite stripe ...) or finite (polygons in 2D,
* polyhedrons in 3D ...). Their main characteristic is to separate
* points that are considered to be inside the region from
* points considered to be outside of it. In between, there
* may be points on the boundary of the region.
* This implementation is limited to regions for which the boundary
* is composed of several {@link SubHyperplane sub-hyperplanes},
* including regions with no boundary at all: the whole space and the
* empty region. They are not necessarily finite and not necessarily
* path-connected. They can contain holes.
* Regions can be combined using the traditional sets operations :
* union, intersection, difference and symetric difference (exclusive
* or) for the binary operations, complement for the unary
* operation.
*
* Note that this interface is not intended to be implemented
* by Apache Commons Math users, it is only intended to be implemented
* within the library itself. New methods may be added even for minor
* versions, which breaks compatibility for external implementations.
*

* returning null if the corresponding cut sub-hyperplane does not
* have any parts belonging to the boundary.
* Since computing the boundary is not always required and can be
* time-consuming for large trees, these internal nodes attributes
* are computed using lazy evaluation only when required by setting
* the {@code includeBoundaryAttributes} argument to
* {@code true}. Once computed, these attributes remain in the
