/** A class to interpolate between a list of Statics.

* <p><ul>

* <li>if there is only one Point, just return it.

* <li>if there are two Points, linearly bounce between them

* <li>if there are more, interpolate a path between them. Exact way we interpolate depends on the MODE.

* </ul>

*/

// The way Interpolation between more than 2 Points is done:

// 

// Def: let V[i] = (V[i](x), V[i](y), V[i](z)) be the direction and speed (i.e. velocity) we have to

// be flying at Point P[i]

//

// Time it takes to fly though one segment P[i] --> P[i+1] : 0.0 --> 1.0

//

// We arbitrarily decide that V[i] should be equal to (|curr|*prev + |prev|*curr) / min(|prev|,|curr|)

// where prev = P[i]-P[i-1] and curr = P[i+1]-P[i]

//

// Given that the flight route (X(t), Y(t), Z(t)) from P(i) to P(i+1)  (0<=t<=1) has to satisfy

// X(0) = P[i  ](x), Y(0)=P[i  ](y), Z(0)=P[i  ](z), X'(0) = V[i  ](x), Y'(0) = V[i  ](y), Z'(0) = V[i  ](z)

// X(1) = P[i+1](x), Y(1)=P[i+1](y), Z(1)=P[i+1](z), X'(1) = V[i+1](x), Y'(1) = V[i+1](y), Z'(1) = V[i+1](z)

//

// we have the solution:  X(t) = at^3 + bt^2 + ct + d where

// a =  2*P[i](x) +   V[i](x) - 2*P[i+1](x) + V[i+1](x)

// b = -3*P[i](x) - 2*V[i](x) + 3*P[i+1](x) - V[i+1](x)

// c =                V[i](x)

// d =    P[i](x)

//

// and similarly Y(t) and Z(t).

//    The output will then be discontinuous in dimensions>2 (sad corollary from the Hairy Ball Theorem)

//    but we don't care - we are travelling along a straight line, so velocity (aka baseV[0]!) does

//    not change.

// c) we may be interpolating through more than 2 points. Then interpolation formulas ensure the path
