checks whether obj1 and obj2 intersect.

};
template <class R>
void foo(Segment_d<R> seg, Line_d<R> lin)
{
// with C++11 support
// auto result = intersection(seg, lin);
// without C++11 support
typename cpp11::result_of<R::Intersect_d(Segment_d<R>, Line_d<R>)>::type
result = intersection(seg, lin);
if(result) { boost::apply_visitor(Intersection_visitor<R>(), *result); }
else { // no intersection
