#' Locate geometries at specific M values
#'
#' Return the geometries at a specific M values or range of M values.
#'
#' @template x
#' @param measure A numeric value specifying the M value at which to locate a
#'   point along the geometry. Used only by \code{ddbs_locate_along}.
#' @param start_measure A numeric value specifying the lower bound of the M
#'   range.
#' @param end_measure A numeric value specifying the upper bound of the M
#'   range.
#' @param offset A numeric value specifying a lateral offset to apply
#'   perpendicular to the line direction at the located point(s). Default is
#'   \code{0} (no offset).

#' 
#' - `ddbs_locate_along()`: returns a point or multi-point, containing the point(s) 
#'   at the geometry with the given measure
#' 
#' - `ddbs_locate_between()`: returns a geometry or geometry collection created by 
#'   filtering and interpolating vertices within a range of "M" values
