+//
+// This is a compromise between the kd-tree splitting rule (which
+// always splits data points at their median) and the midpoint
+// splitting rule (which always splits a box through its center.
+// The goal of this procedure is to achieve both nicely balanced
+// splits, and boxes of bounded aspect ratio.
+//
+// A constant FS_ASPECT_RATIO is defined. Given a box, those sides
+// which can be split so that the ratio of the longest to shortest
+// side does not exceed ASPECT_RATIO are identified. Among these
+// sides, we select the one in which the points have the largest
+// spread. We then split the points in a manner which most evenly
+// distributes the points on either side of the splitting plane,
+// subject to maintaining the bound on the ratio of long to short
+// sides. To determine that the aspect ratio will be preserved,
+// we determine the longest side (other than this side), and
+// determine how narrowly we can cut this side, without causing the
+// aspect ratio bound to be exceeded (small_piece).
+//
+// This procedure is more robust than either kd_split or midpt_split,
+// but is more complicated as well. When point distribution is
+// extremely skewed, this degenerates to midpt_split (actually
+// 1/3 point split), and when the points are most evenly distributed,
+// this degenerates to kd-split.

+// sl_fair_split - sliding fair split splitting rule
+//
+// Sliding fair split is a splitting rule that combines the
+// strengths of both fair split with sliding midpoint split.
+// Fair split tends to produce balanced splits when the points
+// are roughly uniformly distributed, but it can produce many
+// trivial splits when points are highly clustered. Sliding
+// midpoint never produces trivial splits, and shrinks boxes
+// nicely if points are highly clustered, but it may produce
+// rather unbalanced splits when points are unclustered but not
+// quite uniform.
+//
+// Sliding fair split is based on the theory that there are two
+// types of splits that are "good": balanced splits that produce
+// fat boxes, and unbalanced splits provided the cell with fewer
+// points is fat.
+//
+// This splitting rule operates by first computing the longest
+// side of the current bounding box. Then it asks which sides
+// could be split (at the midpoint) and still satisfy the aspect
+// ratio bound with respect to this side. Among these, it selects
+// the side with the largest spread (as fair split would). It
+// then considers the most extreme cuts that would be allowed by
+// the aspect ratio bound. This is done by dividing the longest
+// side of the box by the aspect ratio bound. If the median cut
+// lies between these extreme cuts, then we use the median cut.
+// If not, then consider the extreme cut that is closer to the
+// median. If all the points lie to one side of this cut, then
+// we slide the cut until it hits the first point. This may
+// violate the aspect ratio bound, but will never generate empty
+// cells. However the sibling of every such skinny cell is fat,
+// and hence packing arguments still apply.
