Given circle/sphere with center C and radius R, and a line-segment with 
startpoint S and endpoint E, write the J code to tell whether the 
line-segment intersects the circle/sphere.

R is an atom, the rest are lists with 2 or 3 atoms.

This problem arises in collision detection for games and simulators, or 
if you are trying to see whether a path intersects a round obstacle.

I found a solution whose brevity surprised me.
