Changed $\delta$ to $\partial$ for consistency; corrected transposition typo in "arbitrarily"

Jul 28, 2011 at 17:39 comment added Matthias Goergens Noam, yes, the intuitive argument is what motivated my generalisation.
Jul 28, 2011 at 16:29 comment added Noam D. Elkies This also corresponds reasonably well with the following intuitive argument: Stretch a rubber band around $S$. Now remove $S$ but keep $s$ in the same plane, so the rubber band is limited to the complement of $S$. What happens?
