An object repesenting a zero {Size} in N-dimensional space

A {SizeZero} object is a {Size} that will always compare equal to zero and unequal to
everything else, regardless of dimensionality. You can think of it as an application of the
{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Object_pattern Null Object Pattern}.
