  // Compute distances from a set of points P to a triangle mesh (V,F)
  //
  // Inputs:
  //   P  #P by 3 list of query point positions
  //   V  #V by 3 list of vertex positions
  //   Ele  #Ele by (3|2|1) list of (triangle|edge|point) indices
  // Outputs:
  //   sqrD  #P list of smallest squared distances
  //   I  #P list of primitive indices corresponding to smallest distances
  //   C  #P by 3 list of closest points
  //
  // Known bugs: This only computes distances to given primitivess. So
  // unreferenced vertices are ignored. However, degenerate primitives are
  // handled correctly: triangle [1 2 2] is treated as a segment [1 2], and
  // triangle [1 1 1] is treated as a point. So one _could_ add extra
  // combinatorially degenerate rows to Ele for all unreferenced vertices to
  // also get distances to points.
