I was having a similar problem where I was defining a list of points. Sometimes the method would return true but it mostly return false. Turns out my points were getting jumbled up. I think this only works if the points are defined in sequence clockwise or counter clockwise. If your points are "zig zagged" then it won't work.

If the method should handle concave and convex shapes, this makes sense because changing the sequence of points creates a different shape.

By arbitrary, I think they meant the ordering doesn't matter. For example, the following sequences all form the same polygon:

[[ 1, 1], [-1, 1], [-1,-1], [ 1,-1]]
[[-1, 1], [-1,-1], [ 1,-1], [ 1, 1]]
[[-1,-1], [ 1,-1], [ 1, 1], [-1, 1]]
[[ 1,-1], [ 1, 1], [-1, 1], [-1,-1]]

This function only supports convex polylines, yeah. We should specify that in the docs. For non-convex (non-self-intersecting) polylines, you can use Polyline::project_local_point_assuming_solid_interior_ccw](https://docs.rs/parry2d/0.9.0/parry2d/shape/struct.Polyline.html#method.project_local_point_assuming_solid_interior_ccw). This method requires the polyline’s orientation to be counterclockwise.
