// The mesh is created and the points associated with the vertices are
// inserted. Note that there is an important distinction between the
// points in the mesh and the \doxygen{VertexCell} concept. A VertexCell
// is a cell of dimension zero. Its main difference as compared to a point
// is that the cell can be aware of neighborhood relationships with other
// cells. Points are not aware of the existence of cells. In fact, from
// the pure topological point of view, the coordinates of points in the
// mesh are completely irrelevant. They may as well be absent from the
// mesh structure altogether. VertexCells on the other hand are necessary
// to represent the full set of neighborhood relationships on the
// Polyline.
//
// In this example we create a polyline connecting the four vertices of a
// square by using three of the square sides.
