+/**
+ * A service interface for certain geometric operations that are not available
+ * in core Java 3D.
+ * <p>
+ * In particular, the {@code j3d-core-utils} project provides additional
+ * functionality under a different license, which is needed in some
+ * circumstances by core Java 3D. Thus, historically, these two projects have
+ * been co-dependent. This interface breaks the circular dependency by using
+ * Java's service discovery mechanism: if {@code j3d-core-utils} is present on
+ * the classpath, its {@code GeometryServiceImpl} will provide the functionality
+ * defined here. Or if not (i.e., no suitable {@code GeometryService}
+ * implementation can be discovered and instantiated}), then the Java3D core
+ * will fail as gracefully as possible.
+ * </p>
