geometry types are too verbose to use

[Alan Griffiths]

Many of the geometry types lack useful constructors - these should have been added when needed, not the lack worked around.

E.g. we have:

struct Point
{
    X x;
    Y y;
};
Whereas a constructor like:

template<XType, YType>
Point::Point(XType x, YType y) x{x}, y{y} {}

would allow conversions to be applied where valid.

I mean I want to write:

void f(int x, int y)
{
    auto p = geom::Point(x, y);
}

Not

void f(int x, int y)
{
    auto p = geom::Point(geom::X(x), geom::Y(y));
}

I would still prefer this solution:
