> My wish-list for an ideal SpatialPrefixTree has these properties:
> * Hilbert Curve ordering
> * Variable grid size per level (ex: 256 at the top, 64 at the bottom, 16 for all in-between)
> * Compact binary encoding (so-called "Morton number")
> * Works for geodetic (i.e. lat & lon) and non-geodetic
> Some bonus wishes for use in geospatial:
> * Use an equal-area projection such that each cell has an equal area to all others at the same level.
> * When advancing a grid level, if a cell's width is less than half its height. then divide it as 4 vertically stacked instead of 2 by 2. The point is to avoid super-skinny cells which occurs towards the poles and degrades performance.
> All of this requires some basic performance benchmarks to measure the effects of these characteristics.
