iGeom does have entities, though they're naturally a bit different from
iMesh. Each abstract geometric "thing" is an entity, so for example
iGeom_createSphere returns an entity. Conceptually, iGeom and iMesh
entities are pretty similar, though: they're handles to some objects in
space that you can do stuff with.

To be fair, iGeom_getArrAdj doesn't bother me as much as functions like
iGeom_getPntClsf ("get point classification"), which took me a pretty
long time to decipher.
