// Curve segments are evaluated using a parametric function over the curve length, u
// IfcCurveSegment.TransitionCode defines how the end of a segment connects to the next segment.
// When segments are continuously joined, the placement at u = length should be equal to the placement at u = 0
// of the next segment. However, numerical errors can cause these two points to be slightly offset
// from one another (the tangents could be slightly different as well).
//
// The sources of these numerical errors include geometric approximations (series expansion versus integration
// for spiral curves), the IfcCurveSegment.SegmentStart or .SegmentLength parameters contain roundoff or
// truncation error, minor errors in placement at the start of a segment can magnify error at the end
// of the segment. There are probably others as well.
//
// The evaluation of the relative location of the end and start points of adjacent segments occurs
// after the IfcCurveSegment.Placement is applied to the ParentCurve. The ParentCurve can be defined in
// a convenient coordinate system, such as the center of a circle or the origin of a line at (0,0). The Placement
// them moves the computed geometry to its relative position. It is the geometry after applying the Placement
// that needs to be evaluated and any difference forms the bases for the adjustments made by segment_geometry_adjuster
// or one of its subclasses.
//
// This class applies the IfcCurveSegment.Placement to inst_. The placement at the start of next_inst_ can then be
// obtained from mapping->map and compared to the end placement of inst_ and the placement at u can be adjusted
// as needed. This default implementation doesn't make any adjustments. Subclass and override the transform_and_adjust
// function to specialize the refinement of the placement at u.
