Hi,

I revisited the spatial index and found that the Point 
template-parameter is hardly used, and can be anything.
In rtree_node and  rtree_leaf it is not used at all, in rtree it is used 
but directly calls Box there, so in fact it does not bring any 
functionality.

If something like that would be there, it would be good to have a 
template method there, such as

template <typename Geometry>
inline void insert(Geometry const& key, Key const& key)
{
    // calling ggl::envelope to get the box, and inserting that Box/key
}

Is it OK to remove the Point template parameter and methods? Chris, are 
you using it? Federico, am I disturbing your plans if I do this?

If I remove it, I will also do the (agreed) double-name-removal, such 
that    

    ggl::index::rtree::rtree<box, void, int>  (void stands here for the 
point-type...)

will then be

    ggl::index::rtree<box, int>

Regards, Barend
