Well, basically, it is not possible to fix this problem with the current
logic, where each facet is an independant body.
We need to consider a triangulated surface as one entity and define
contacts differently if they are on facets, edges, or vertices.
In order to do that, we need a well designed data structure defining the
connectivity of facets, and used by Ig functors to track the contacts
passing from one facet to the other.

The problem is similar as in chained cylinder, but in 2D (while chained
cylinders are 1D). It would be a big step, but it is not a small job.
