See #882 for book boilerplate.

I think there is some inconsistency both in

  • how some of the functions are supposed to be defined, such as return type for the CCW part and the "core" of the scan, and
  • what lines of code are included for which section in the book.

(hull (list start (car points) (cadr points))))
(dolist (point (cddr points))
(while (not (is-ccw (nthrev 1 hull) (nthrev 0 hull) point))
(setq hull (reverse (cdr (reverse hull)))))

This probably destroys the formal scaling of the method. Nevermind, this is still linear, just inefficient.
