Comment(by richard):

 I've changed {{{LatLongCoords}}} to use a vector internally, and preserve
 the order of coordinates in it.  This makes it possible to use one to
 represent an boundary, instead of just a set of points, so future metrics
 could do nearest distance between boundary lines, instead of points.

 Of course, for a metric to do a calculation like that would require making
 the {{{double LatLongMetric::operator()(const LatLongCoords & a, const
 LatLongCoords &b) const;}}} method virtual, which would then conflict with
 the {{{operator()}}} which takes {{{LatLongCoord}}} arguments, so one of
 these would need to be renamed.
