We often have long type declarations, for example:
std::vector<std::vector<intersection> >
I am wondering whether we should use a typedef for this declaration and, in fact, all other STL containers, similar to the way in which we handle CGAL types. It would shorten our code without running the risk of using namespaces, which is risky because many different things in our code are called 'map'. Thus, my proposal is to add a header file stl_typedef.h that contains lines such as:
