This is work in progress.

Caveat

The implementation of testing whether a face is tropical so far uses a trick to emulate higher order. For complicated (non-complete intersections and non-Pfaffians) examples this may lead to an incorrect result. Use with care. This will be fixed at some point.

If using OldPolyhedra to compute convex hulls and its faces instead of ConvexInterface you are limited to rather simple examples.
