/*! \class
 * A traits class for maintaining an arrangement of Bezier curves with
 * rational control points.
 *
 * The class is templated with four parameters:
 * Rat_kernel A kernel that defines the type of control points.
 * Alg_kernel A geometric kernel, where Alg_kernel::FT is the number type
 *            for the coordinates of arrangement vertices and is used to
 *            represent algebraic numbers.
 * Nt_traits A number-type traits class. This class defines the Rational
 *           number type (should be the same as Rat_kernel::FT) and the
 *           Algebraic number type (should be the same as Alg_kernel::FT)
 *           and supports various operations on them.
 * Bounding_traits A traits class for filtering the exact computations.
 *                 By default we use the rational bounding traits.
