[Dune-devel] Cleanup in genericgeometry

[Oliver Sander]

Hi Martin,
I think the 'problem' with those now unnecessary files was that few people were
aware that they were only needed for BasicGeometry.  Therefore the misunderstanding.
I agree with you/Christian/Christoph in that I consider those files internal,
and I propose to get rid of them without deprecation period.
Actually, my ultimate goal is to get rid of the genericgeometry folder.  In my opinion,
the code that is still useful in there is better placed in something like dune/geometry/common.
Best,
Oliver
