//! # Day 3: Perfectly Spherical Houses in a Vacuum
//!
//! Santa is delivering presents to an infinite two-dimensional grid of houses.
//!
//! He begins by delivering a present to the house at his starting location, and then an elf at the
//! North Pole calls him via radio and tells him where to move next. Moves are always exactly one
//! house to the north (`^`), south (`v`), east (`>`), or west (`<`). After each move, he delivers
//! another present to the house at his new location.
//!
//! However, the elf back at the north pole has had a little too much eggnog, and so his directions
//! are a little off, and Santa ends up visiting some houses more than once. How many houses receive
//! **at least one present**?
//!
//! For example:
//!
//! - `>` delivers presents to `2` houses: one at the starting location, and one to the east.
//! - `^>v<` delivers presents to `4` houses in a square, including twice to the house at his
//! starting/ending location.
//! - `^v^v^v^v^v` delivers a bunch of presents to some very lucky children at only `2` houses.
//!
//! ## Part Two
//!
//! The next year, to speed up the process, Santa creates a robot version of himself,
//! **Robo-Santa**, to deliver presents with him.
//!
//! Santa and Robo-Santa start at the same location (delivering two presents to the same starting
//! house), then take turns moving based on instructions from the elf, who is eggnoggedly reading
//! from the same script as the previous year.
//!
//! This year, how many houses receive *at least one present*?
//!
//! For example:
//!
//! - `^v` delivers presents to `3` houses, because Santa goes north, and then Robo-Santa goes
//! south.
//! - `^>v<` now delivers presents to `3` houses, and Santa and Robo-Santa end up back where they
//! started.
//! - `^v^v^v^v^v` now delivers presents to `11` houses, with Santa going one direction and
//! Robo-Santa going the other.
