// Notes:
// * normSign: if we are "inside" the shape and only want to find out how far
//   to leave the shape, we only want to consider intersections with surfaces in
//   which the trajectory is leaving the shape. Since the normal vectors to the
//   surface always point outwards from the inside, this means we want the dot
//   product of the trajectory direction v and the normal of the side normals[i]
//   to be positive. Thus, we should specify normSign as +1.0. Otherwise, if
//   we are outside and want to go in, normSign should be set to -1.0.
//   Don't set normSign to zero, or you will get no intersections!
//
// * surfTolerance: see notes on argument "surfTolerance" in routine
//   "IntersectSidePlane".
//   ----HOWEVER---- We should *not* apply this surface tolerance if the
//   starting point is not within phi or z of the surface. Specifically,
//   if the starting point p angle in x/y places it on a separate side from the
//   intersection or if the starting point p is outside the z bounds of the
//   segment, surfTolerance must be ignored or we should *always* accept the
//   intersection! 
//   This is simply because the sides do not have infinite extent.

  // ------------------TO BE IMPLEMENTED---------------------
  // Testing the intersection of individual phi faces is
  // pretty straight forward. The simple thing therefore is to
  // form a loop and check them all in sequence.
  //
  // But, I worry about one day someone making
  // a polygon with a thousands sides. A linear search
  // would not be ideal in such a case.
  //
  // So, it would be nice to be able to quickly decide
  // which face would be intersected. One can make a very
  // good guess by using the intersection with a cone.
  // However, this is only reliable in 99% of the cases.
  //
  // My solution: make a decent guess as to the one or
  // two potential faces might get intersected, and then
  // test them. If we have the wrong face, use the test
  // to make a better guess.
  //
  // Since we might have two guesses, form a queue of
  // potential intersecting faces. Keep an array of 
  // already tested faces to avoid doing one more than
  // once.
  //
  // Result: at worst, an iterative search. On average,
  // a little more than two tests would be required.
