 SurfaceType HERMITE( CurveType Bndry1, CurveType Bndry2,
                      CurveType Tan1, CurveType Tan2 )

 or

 CurveType HERMITE( PointType Bndry1, PointType Bndry2,
                    VectorType Tan1, VectorType Tan2 )

Constructs a cubic fit between Bndry1 and Bndry2 so that
first derivative continuity constraints, as prescribed by Tan1 at
Bndry1 and Tan2 at Bndry2, are preserved.

Returns either a curve or a surface, according to type of input parameters.

Example:

    h00 = HERMITE( point( 0, 0, 0 ),
                   point( 1, 1, 0 ),
                   vector( 1, 0, 0 ),
                   vector( 1, 0, 0 ) );
Constructs a curve in the shape of the first basis function of the cubic
Hermite basis functions.
