It's pretty much a finished project.  Directly extending the methology
to larger shapes wouldn't be very useful, because completely enclosed
shapes are rare, and bigger shapes are alive anyway.

The library and the methodology could be incorporated into tsumego
solvers in the same way they were used in my solver - as an expert
to provide information in the limited circumstances where applicable.
