Description

Thanks for this useful package.

Sometimes when trying a suitable triangulation I run into infinite loops (or just very long I don't know) which eats up a lot of memory.
Even after interrupting Julia, the memory is still occupied by the Julia process.
Is there a way to force release the memory?

Thanks.

Research direction

Start at the triangulate() entry point and reproduce a long-running or interrupted triangulation while observing the Julia process memory. Trace what happens when execution is interrupted and identify whether the retained memory is from this package. Done means the issue has a reproducible explanation and a verified way to release or avoid the retained memory.
