and barycentric coordinates.  This is easy because we know the

... instead of coordinates in the embedding space.  The usual problem
is that when working in the embedding space, a projection onto the
trust-region makes the iterate leave the tangent space.

For this now the TangentVector class of S^n has only n components,
while the EmbeddedTangentVector class still has n+1.
The code around it needs to be fixed accordingly.
