 * An intersector for the red-blue intersection problem.

 * In this class of line arrangement problem,
 * two disjoint sets of linestrings are provided.
 * It is assumed that within
 * each set, no two linestrings intersect except possibly at their endpoints.
 * Implementations can take advantage of this fact to optimize processing.
