Re: 2d circular union nav-mesh

In fact, the shape should not be that strange at all. It's just a
half-circle per intersection point, is it not?
I suppose you could use an in-rectangle test (rectangle around the two
intersection points, expanded by the radius of the test sphere) combined
with a not-in-circle test (around each of the two intersection points) to
build a somewhat simple in-corridor test.
Combined with some early out tests, that should be quite efficient.
