Sure, so my claims are 1) this is a good PR :) and 2) if we want to offer
the kind of functionality that you are removing, that's cool, but we should do
it in some appropriate, public, maintainable way (extension function?). I don't
think I'm saying anything too profound here. :) Should we open a ticket to
provide access to Lucene's spatial calculations as extension functions? I'm not
saying I'm going to go work on that right away, but it would be worth not
losing sight of your insight about people's expectations of being able to order
by distance easily.
