  /*!
  \ingroup PkgAdvancingFrontSurfaceReconstructionRef

  The class `Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction` enables advanced users to provide the unstructured
  point cloud in a 3D Delaunay triangulation. The reconstruction algorithm then marks vertices and faces
  in the triangulation as being on the 2D surface embedded in 3D space, and constructs a 2D triangulation
  data structure that describes the surface.  The vertices and facets of the 2D triangulation data structure
  store handles to the vertices and faces of the 3D triangulation, which enables the user to explore the
  2D as well as 3D neighborhood of vertices and facets of the surface.

  \tparam Dt must be a `Delaunay_triangulation_3` whose `Traits` template parameter must be a model of
  `AdvancingFrontSurfaceReconstructionTraits_3` and whose `Tds` template parameter must be
  a model of `TriangulationDataStructure_3` with `Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction_vertex_base_3` and
  `Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction_cell_base_3` blended into the vertex and cell type, respectively.
  The default value is:
  \code
    CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_3<CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel,
                                   CGAL::Triangulation_data_structure_3<
                                     CGAL::Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction_vertex_base_3<
                                       CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel>,
                                     CGAL::Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction_cell_base_3<
                                       CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel> > >
  \endcode

  \tparam P must be a functor offering
  \code
    FT operator()(Advancing_front_surface_reconstruction::Cell_handle,int)
  \endcode
  returning the priority of the facet `(Cell_handle,int)`. This functor enables the user
  to choose how candidate triangles are prioritized. If a facet should not appear in the output,
  `infinity()` must be returned. It defaults to a functor that returns the
  `smallest_radius_delaunay_sphere()`.
