/**
 * @brief Bounding box in 3d ambient space.
 *
 * Primary intention is usage in BIHTree and various speedups of non-compatible
 * intersections.
 *
 * Copy constructor and assignment are default provided by compiler.
 * These can be used to set bounds latter on without particular method
 * to this end:
 *
 * @code
 * BoundingBox box;         // non-initialized box
 * box=BoundingBox( arma::vec3("0 1 2"), arma::vec3("4 5 6") );
 * @endcode
 *
 * Don;t worry about performance, all is inlined.
