bq. I'm wondering whether the use of getMinDelta could be replaced with 
Math.nextUp/Math.nextDown?

getMinDelta calculates a fudge factor from the distance exponent \[...\]

bq. OK, I see now. I (wrongly) thought it was only a way to make sure that the 
float cast did not round down.

Thanks Adrien.  I committed the patch with a slightly edited version of my 
explanation above added to the {{getMinDelta()}} javadocs.

> {quote}
> KD trees (used by Lucene's new dimensional points) excel at finding "nearest 
> neighbors" to a given query point ... I think we should add this to Lucene's 
> sandbox
> [...]
> It could also be generalized to more than 2 dimensions, but for now I'm 
> making the class package private in sandbox for just the geo2d (lat/lon) use 
> case.

> This issue is to generalize {{LatLonPoint.nearest()}} to more than 2 
> dimensions.
