Theorem Suggestion: Locally (half) one euclidean + topological n-manifold (with boundary) => CW complex #1759

Description

@felixpernegger

We dont have CW complex merged yet, but I wanna write this down so i dont forget it:

Suppose we have a 1-dimensional manifold with boundary, WLOG connected. It's interior (I have never properly done anything with manifold, so idk if this is the proper name) must be S^1 or $\mathbb{R}$ https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/113705/the-only-1-manifolds-are-mathbb-r-and-s1

So all 1-manifold must be disjoint unions of $S^1, [0,1], (0,1), [0,1)$ all of which are are CW complexes.

--
If we dont end up adding "half one euclidean", one can directly apply the general theorem that any top. manifold with dim =/= 4 is a CW complex.

Also we better refine #1753 in the following way: Embedabble in R + Locally connected => Topological n-manifold with boundary => Locally contractible
