[SciPy-Dev] Adding alpha complexes/filtrations to scipy.spatial?

[Tyler Reddy]

Is this similar to "alpha shape:" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_shape

I know I've been wanting to have that in, but not sure if the community
would agree. Probably some design decisions to think about, but a useful
alternative to convex hull seems like an interesting idea for some
applications.
