   * @brief Compute alpha complex or alpha shape
   *
   * Builds the alpha shape (H. Edelsbrunner and P.Mucke,
   * "Three-dimensional Alpha Shapes," ACM Trans. Graph. 13, 1994) from a
   * set of atomic locations using the Qhull library,
   * http://www.qhull.org/
   *
   * For a given value of \f$\alpha\f$, the \f$\alpha\f$-shape
   * includes all of the tetrahedra in the Delaunay triangulation
   * which have an empty circumsphere with radius equal or smaller
   * than \f$\alpha\f$.  To carry out this calculation, all points are
   * lifted to 4D so that each point is \f$(x, y, z, x^2+y^2+z^2)\f$.
   * The convex hull is computed in 4D, and tetrahedral facets with
   * circumsphere radii larger than \f$\alpha\f$ are removed.
   *
   *   \param alpha the circumsphere radius to test tetrahedra for elimination
