Detailed Description

MinMaxPolicy enforcing strict rules for the minima and maxima.

The strict policy will throw exceptions if the client misbehaves to the AABB. This policy demands that you set correct minima and maxima, it demands that the minimum is indeed a minimum. An very good example of misbehaviour would be to swap minimum and maximum. But not all component values of the minimum have to be greater than the maximum. To throw an exception, it's sufficient to have only one component value of the minimum to be greater than the corresponding component value of the maximum. This can lead to subtle errors. an example:

  Aabb3D<int, StrictMinMax> aabb(Point3D<int>(1, 2, 3), Point3D<int>(4, 5, 6));
  aabb.min() = Point3D<int>(5, 5, 5);

The above example will throw an exception. The first line is correct, it constructs an AABB of which the maximum is indeed larger than the minimum. It's in the second line. Here, we try to adjust the minimum of the AABB by setting it to 3D point (5, 5, 5). The z coordinate is no problem: 5 is indeed less that 6. The y coordinate isn't a problem either: 5 is not greater than 5. It's the x coordinate that causes the trouble: 5 is greater than 4. Bang! an exception is thrown.

The rest of the class are implementation details for the AABB and should not be called by the client (you :). In short we can say of this policy: make sure that minima are minima and maxima maxima.
