A related question is: do we want contains_point() to return "true" in
cases where the point is definitely outside the element (to within
floating point tolerance), but is "inside" the element (to within
user-specified tolerance)?

If yes: the bounding box optimization checks based on TOLERANCE are overzealous.

If no: then contains_point() probably shouldn't accept any
user-specified tolerance at all.
