I realize that you already started (I see about 15 updates in 
arithmetic, strategies). The GGL_GEOMETRY seems a bit redudant to me. 
Don't know how far you are besides the commits. Is it still possible to 
change it in GGL_STRATEGIES_DISTANCE_RESULT_HPP? Makes it somewhat 
shorter and less redundant.
