/** \brief
 * Simplifies a Geometry using the standard Douglas-Peucker algorithm.
 *
 * Ensures that any polygonal geometries returned are valid.
 * Simple lines are not guaranteed to remain simple after simplification.
 * 
 * Note that in general D-P does not preserve topology -
 * e.g. polygons can be split, collapse to lines or disappear
 * holes can be created or disappear,
 * and lines can cross.
 * To simplify geometry while preserving topology use TopologyPreservingSimplifier.
 * (However, using D-P is significantly faster).
