//       Class : NurbsCurveResult
// Description : The result of a NurbsCurveEvaluator.  This object
//               represents a curve in a particular coordinate space.
//               It can return the point and/or tangent to the curve
//               at any point.
//
//               This is not related to NurbsCurve, CubicCurveseg or
//               any of the ParametricCurve-derived objects in this
//               module.  It is a completely parallel implementation
//               of NURBS curves, and will probably eventually replace
//               the whole ParametricCurve class hierarchy.
