# Configurations of Points and lines
This file introduces abstract configurations of points and lines, and proves some basic properties.
## Main definitions
* `configuration.nondegenerate`: Excludes certain degenerate configurations,
and imposes uniqueness of intersection points.
* `configuration.has_points`: A nondegenerate configuration in which
every pair of lines has an intersection point.
* `configuration.has_lines`: A nondegenerate configuration in which
every pair of points has a line through them.
## Todo
* Abstract projective planes.
