/**
* A {@linkplain Complex complex} with all the geometric properties of a curve. Thus, this
* composite can be considered as a type of {@linkplain OrientableCurve orientable curve}.
* Essentially, a composite curve is a list of {@linkplain OrientableCurve orientable curves}
* agreeing in orientation in a manner such that each curve (except the first) begins where
* the previous one ends.

* @todo This interface extends (indirectly) both {@link org.opengis.geometry.primitive.Primitive} and
* {@link org.opengis.geometry.complex.Complex}. Concequently, there is a clash in the semantics
* of some set theoretic operation. Specifically, {@code Primitive.contains(...)}
* (returns FALSE for end points) is different from {@code Complex.contains(...)}
* (returns TRUE for end points).
