19 [heading Concept Definition]
21 * there must be a specialization of `traits::tag` defining `segment_tag` as type
22 * there must be a specialization of `traits::point_type` to define the underlying point type
23 (even if it does not consist of points, it should define this type, to indicate the points it can work with)
24 * there must be a specialization of `traits::indexed_access`, per index and per dimension, with two functions:
25 * `get` to get a coordinate value
26 * `set` to set a coordinate value (this one is not checked for ConstSegment)
28 [note The segment concept is similar to the box concept, defining using another tag.
29 However, the box concept assumes the index as `min_corner`, `max_corner`, while for the segment concept, there is no assumption.]
