//! Implements construction algorithms for planes in 3D space.
//! Supported constructions include:
//! - a plane parallel to another plane and passing through a point;
//! - a plane passing through three points;
//! - a plane defined by a point and normal direction.
//! A MakePlane object provides a framework for:
//! -   defining the construction of the plane,
//! -   implementing the construction algorithm, and
//! -   consulting the results. In particular, the Value
