 * \brief tests whether a closed triangle mesh has a positive orientation.
 *
 * A closed triangle mesh is considered to have a positive orientation if the normal vectors
 * to all its faces point outside the domain bounded by the triangle mesh.
 * The normal vector to each face is chosen pointing on the side of the face
 * where its sequence of vertices is seen counterclockwise.
 *
 * @pre `CGAL::is_closed(tm)`
 * @pre `CGAL::is_triangle_mesh(tm)`
 * @pre If `tm` contains several connected components, they are oriented consistently.
 *      In other words, the answer to this predicate would be the same for each
 *      isolated connected component.
 *
 * @tparam TriangleMesh a model of `FaceListGraph`
 * @tparam NamedParameters a sequence of \ref bgl_namedparameters "Named Parameters"
 *
 * @param tm the closed triangle mesh free from self-intersections to be tested
 * @param np an optional sequence of \ref bgl_namedparameters "Named Parameters" among the ones listed below

 * \note This function is only doing an orientation test for one connected component of `tm`.
 *       For performance reasons, it is left to the user to call the function `does_bound_a_volume()`
 *       on a triangulated version of `tm` to ensure the result returned is relevant.
 *       For advanced usages, the function `volume_connected_components()` should be used instead.

/*!
 * \ingroup PMP_orientation_grp
 *
 * assigns to each face of `tm` an id corresponding to the volume connected component
 * it contributes to.
 *
 * Using the adjacency relation of two faces along an edge, a triangle mesh can be split
 * into connected components (*surface components* in the following).
 * A surface component without boundary separates the 3D space into an infinite and
 * a finite volume. We say that the finite volume is <i>enclosed</i> by this surface
 * component.
 *
 * The volume connected components (*volume components* in the following) are defined as follows:
 * Each surface component `S` that is outside any volume enclosed by
 * another surface component defines the *outer boundary* of a volume component.
 * Each surface component that is inside the volume enclosed by `S`
 * defines a *hole* if it is included in no other volume enclosed by a surface component
 * but `S`. Ignoring the identified volume component, the same procedure is recursively
 * repeated for all surface components in each hole.
 *
 * There are some special cases:
 * - a non-closed surface component is reported as a volume component ignoring any inclusion test
 * - a self-intersecting surface component is reported as a volume component ignoring any inclusion test
 * - a surface component intersecting another surface component
 *   is reported as a volume component, and so are all the surface components inside its
 *   enclosed volume
 * - if `do_orientation_tests` is set to `true`, if the holes are not all equally oriented
 *   (all inward or all outward) or if the holes and the outer boundary are equally
 *   oriented, each surface component is reported as a volume component,
 *   and so are all the surface components inside the corresponding enclosed volumes
 * - If `do_orientation_tests` is set to `true` and the surface components that are
 *   outside all enclosed volumes are inward oriented, they are then considered as holes
 *   of the unbounded volume (that has no outer boundary)
 *
 * A property map for `CGAL::vertex_point_t` must be either available as an internal property map
 * of `tm` or provided as one of the \ref bgl_namedparameters "Named Parameters".
