If you like lazy evaluation take a look at the lazy iterators I
implemented for converting a range of geometry objects (such as polygons
with holes) to a range of vertex data structures (vertex, half edge
pairs) in iterator_geometry_to_set.h just checked into the sandbox under
the gtl project.  It is also a nice demonstration of how the geometry
concept becomes useful as a template parameter for making algorithms
generic.
