#3689: Your "Right Hand Rule" is wrong

Comment (by strk):

 I'm -1 on changing any behavior about it. If documentation isn't clear
 about behavior, that's the only thing that must be fixed. The interior of
 the polygon is on the right of the man walking around its boundary, in the
 direction in which the boundary lines are defined. Is that not clear ?
