    Example
    Construct a Circular Arc - using an interior point
    // Construct a circular arc from (2, 1) to (1, 2) with interior pt (1 + sqrt(2)/2, 1 + sqrt(2)/2).
    // Use a builderEx convenience method or use a builderEx constructor.
    
    MapPoint fromPt = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2, 1);

    Coordinate2D interiorPt = new Coordinate2D(1 + Math.Sqrt(2) / 2, 1 + Math.Sqrt(2) / 2);
    
    // BuilderEx convenience methods don't need to run on the MCT.
    EllipticArcSegment circularArc = EllipticArcBuilderEx.CreateCircularArc(fromPt, toPt, interiorPt);
    
    // BuilderEx constructors don't need to run on the MCT.
    EllipticArcBuilderEx eab = new EllipticArcBuilderEx(fromPt, toPt, interiorPt);
    // do something with the builder
    
    EllipticArcSegment anotherCircularArc = eab.ToSegment();
    
    Construct a Circular Arc - using a chord length and bearing
    // Construct a circular arc counterclockwise from (2, 1) to (1, 2) such that the embedded 
    // circle has center point at (1, 1) and radius = 1.
    // Use a builderEx convenience method or use a builderEx constructor.

    Construct a Circular Arc - using a center point, angle and radius
