This is a moot point because I think GetPointsCenter is more clear
anyway (since there is no concept of mass, like you said), but since
this function is in vtkPoints there is no concept of "cells" to
interfere with anything - it is simply the center of the points.

Ok, so what's the process from here? Do we wait a few days for more
comments/suggestions?
