// Class description:
//
// A class that provides an estimate of the isotropic safety, the minimum
// distance from a global point to the nearest boundary of the current volume
// or the nearest daughter volumes.
// This estimate can be an underestimate, either because a solid provides an
// underestimate (for speed) or in order to avoid substantial additional
// computations.
// Obtains from the navigator the current transformation history.
