/*!
 * \brief Analysis for algebraic curves of arbitrary degree.
 *
 * This class constitutes a model for the concept
 * AlgebraicKernelWithAnalysis_d_2::CurveAnalysis_2.
 * For a square-free bivariate polynomial \c f, a topologic-geometrical
 * analysis of the algebraic curve defined by the vanishing set of \c f
 * is provided. This means, one can ask for the total number, and the position
 * of the critical x-coordinates of the curve, and for each x-coordinate,
 * geometric information about the curve can be obtained. This data
 * is capsuled into an object of type \c Curve_analysis_2::Status_line_1,
 * which is in fact a \c Status_line_CA_1 object.
 *
 * The restriction to square-free curves is a weak one, since the curves
 * can be made square-free before passed to the analysis.
 * The \c Construct_curve_2 functor of \c Algebraic_curve_kernel_2 is
 * doing so, thus it accepts arbitrary bivariate polynomials.
 *
 * The analysis is implemented in a "lazy" fashion. This means, when
 * created, the analysis delays all computations until the information
 * is queried for the first time. This means, if only parts of the curves
 * are of interest, only a partial analysis is performed.
 * We remark that nevertheless, the global \e projection \e step
 * (i.e., computing the (sub)resultants) must be done once a \c Status_line_1
 * is queried. Often, this step forms the bottleneck in the whole computation.
 *
 * For more details of the algorithm, consult the reference:
 * A.Eigenwillig, M.Kerber, N.Wolpert: Fast and Exact Geometric Analysis of
 * Real Algebraic Plane Curves. Proceedings of the International Symposium
 * on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC 2007), pp. 151-158
