Description:
        An ON_Arc is a subcurve of 3d circle. 
Details:
        The curve is parameterized by   an angle expressed in radians.   For an IsValid() arc 
        the total subtended angle       AngleRadians() = Domain()(1) - Domain()(0) must satisfy
                                0< AngleRadians() <2*Pi .
        
        The parameterization of the ON_Arc is inherited from the ON_Circle it is derived from.
        In particular
                         t -> center + cos(t)*radius*xaxis + sin(t)*radius*yaxis        
        where xaxis and yaxis, (part of ON_Circle::m_plane) form an othonormal frame of the plane 
        containing the circle.
