- Standardize data types in numeric operations across Bézier and NURBS methods for consistency and precision.

- Add `examples/ssx/nurbs_nurbs_intersection_10.py` to demonstrate NURBS intersection use cases.
- Refactor `ndinterval.c` to fix method names and refine interval operations.
- Introduce `_deflate.py` for advanced intersection processing with improved derivative handling and multi-dimensional Bernstein patch methods.
- Optimize memory usage by caching frequently used computations in `fdm.py` and `aabb.py`.
