The submission wasn't merged as is I don't feel it's appropriate to manage
the internal double support as an optional compile, rather we should have
two LineSegment compute methods - one using doubles, and one using floats
and have a setting to switch between the two at runtime.  You needn't even
need a separate class for it.
