w <- vect("POLYGON ((0 -5, 10 0, 10 -10, 0 -5))")
is.valid(w)
#> [1] TRUE

w <- vect("POLYGON ((0 -5, 10 0, 10 -10, 4 -2, 0 -5))")
is.valid(w)
#> [1] FALSE
is.valid(w, TRUE)
#>   valid                                                reason
#> 1 FALSE Self-intersection[4.54545454545455 -2.72727272727273]
