Comment (by Arturo Blas <arturoblas@…>):

 Thanks for your feedback, this is what I had in mind but I was hoping I
 could just hook in my own intersection/distance function providing segment
 distance in 3D space.

 Also, the main issue from a user's perspective is the lack of an statement
 in the documentation so it's explicitly stated that algorithms may not
 work for primitives with 2+ dimensions.

 Is there an ETA for implementing this?
