As an alternative to this PR, I was wondering whether we should remove the binary
convex_hull
method from the library.The convex hull is traditionally defined for a single set. Originally, there was no way to express unions of two sets, but now we can express that via a
UnionSet
. So it feels a bit arbitrary that we offer this binary method.A similar argument goes for the lazy binary operation
ConvexHull
, which could be turned into a unary operation.
