 When your hyperplanes have the equations x == 0, y == 0 and x + y == 0,
 then the face (x == 0 & y == 0) of the hyperplane arrangement formed by
 the first two will intersect the halfspace x + y >= 0 in itself, and we
 want to record this as a 0 sign, not as a +1 sign. Remember that all the
 faces here are closed faces.

 Sorry for the doc bug! If you could fix this (in the hopefully obvious
 way; I tend to get the "::"s wrong in docstrings), I'd be really grateful.
