Description: Implements exact and approximate methods for nearest
        neighbor detection, in a framework that allows them to be
        easily switched within Bioconductor packages or workflows.
        Exact searches can be performed using the k-means for k-nearest
        neighbors algorithm, vantage point trees, or an exhaustive
        search. Approximate searches can be performed using the Annoy
        or HNSW libraries. Each search can be performed with a variety
        of different distance metrics, parallelization, and variable
        numbers of neighbors. Range-based searches (to find all
        neighbors within a certain distance) are also supported.
