Comment (by z@…):

 what's the time line for fixing resize() according to your stated plan? I
 also ran into the problems with resize(). This is a showstopper for us to
 switch using Boost polygon.

 First, with the resize with corner_fill_arc set to false. Apparently, it
 does bad thing to resulting polygon (see Ticket #5358) when "very small
 features before shrinking can become very large after if the angle is
 acute. That is what happened in this case". I don't understand why it was
 closed as 'invalid'.

 Second, with the resize with corner_fill_arc set to true. Apparently, this
 fixes the problem above, but introduces new problem. That is resize
 'offset' is not correct.
