// This fits circles to a collection of points, where the error is related to
// the distance of a point from the circle. This uses auto-differentiation to
// take the derivatives.
//
// The input format is simple text. Feed on standard in:
//
// x_initial y_initial r_initial
// x1 y1
// x2 y2
// y3 y3
// ...
//
// And the result after solving will be printed to stdout:
//
// x y r
//
// There are closed form solutions [1] to this problem which you may want to
// consider instead of using this one. If you already have a decent guess, Ceres
// can squeeze down the last bit of error.
