    \brief Meta-function selecting the "calculation" type
    \details Based on two input geometry types, and an input calculation type,
        (which defaults to void in the calling function), this meta-function
        selects the most appropriate:
        - if calculation type is specified, that one is used,
        - if it is void, the most precise of the two points is used
