That's really elegant, QC. Thank you.
I notice my gut looks at the hyperboloid example and says "That's not tricky! It has two interiors and one exterior." I think it's using convexity as a fallback when there's no bound.

huh this triggered a thought about another possible definition of "inside" specific to subspaces of R^n. (we can say a point x is inside a region R if every ray emitted from x eventually hits R.) will edit the answer with some further thoughts about this...
more stuff!
