/** BIT-QUAD creation support:
    a collection of methods that,
    starting from a triangular mesh, will create your quad-pure or quad-domainant mesh.
    
    They all require:
      - per face Q, and FF connectivity, 2-manyfold meshes, 
      - and tri- or quad- meshes (no penta, etc) (if in need, use MakeBitTriOnly)


[ list of available methods: ]
  
void MakePureByRefine(Mesh &m) 
   - adds a vertex for each tri or quad present
   - thus, miminal complexity increase is the mesh is quad-dominant already
   - old non-border edges are made faux
   - never fails

void MakePureByCatmullClark(MeshType &m) 
   - adds a vertex in each (non-faux) edge. 
   - twice complexity increase w.r.t. "ByRefine" method.
   - preserves edges: old edges are still edges 
   - never fails
      
bool MakePureByFlip(MeshType &m [, int maxdist] )  
   - does not increase # vertices, just flips edges
   - call in a loop until it returns true  (temporary hack)
   - fails if number of triangle is odd (only happens in open meshes)
   - add "StepByStep" to method name if you want it to make a single step (debugging purposes)

bool MakeTriEvenBySplit(MeshType& m)
bool MakeTriEvenByDelete(MeshType& m)
   - two simple variants that either delete or split *at most one* border face
     so that the number of tris will be made even. Return true if it did it.
   - useful to use the previous method, when mesh is still all triangle

void MakeDominant(MeshType &m, int level)
   - just merges traingle pairs into quads, trying its best
   - various heuristic available, see descr. for parameter "level"
   - provides good starting point for make-Quad-Only methods
   - uses an ad-hoc measure for "quad quality" (which is hard-wired, for now)

void MakeBitTriOnly(MeshType &m)
   - inverse process: returns to tri-only mesh

int SplitNonFlatQuads(MeshType &m, ScalarType toleranceDeg=0){
   - as above, but splits only non flat quads

TESTING METHODS:

bool IsTriOnly(const MeshType &m);  // only triangles
bool IsQuadOnly(const MeshType &m); // only quads
bool IsTriQuadOnly(const MeshType &m); // only quads or triangles

(more info in comments before each method)
