/**
* The internal representation of a list of coordinates inside a Geometry.
*
* This allows Geometries to store their
* points using something other than the JTS {@link Coordinate} class.
* For example, a storage-efficient implementation
* might store coordinate sequences as an array of x's
* and an array of y's.
* Or a custom coordinate class might support extra attributes like M-values.
*
* Implementing a custom coordinate storage structure
* requires implementing the {@link CoordinateSequence} and
* {@link CoordinateSequenceFactory} interfaces.
* To use the custom CoordinateSequence, create a
* new {@link GeometryFactory} parameterized by the CoordinateSequenceFactory
* The {@link GeometryFactory} can then be used to create new {@link Geometry}s.
* The new Geometries
* will use the custom CoordinateSequence implementation.
*
* For an example, see the code for
* {@link ExtendedCoordinateExample}.
*
* @see CoordinateArraySequenceFactory
* @see PackedCoordinateSequenceFactory
