 This should be a one-point polyhedron.

 {{{
 sage: Polyhedron(ambient_dim=2, ieqs=[], eqns=[], base_ring=QQ)
 The empty polyhedron in QQ^2
 }}}
 This should be the whole QQ^2.

 {{{
 sage: Polyhedron(ambient_dim=2, vertices=[], rays=[(2,2)], lines=[],
 base_ring=QQ)
 A 1-dimensional polyhedron in QQ^2 defined as the convex hull of 1 vertex
 and 1 ray
 }}}
 This should be the empty polyhedron, since there are no vertices for the
 ray to emanate from.

 {{{
 sage: Polyhedron(ambient_dim=2, vertices=[], rays=[], lines=[],
 base_ring=QQ)
 The empty polyhedron in QQ^2
 }}}
 This is correct, but only because the code misunderstands the empty
 V-representation as no V-representation given at all.

 The attached branch fixes the H-representation part, but already that
 comes at the cost of failing doctests. The real deal is fixing the
 V-representation (which then should fix the doctests as well).
