abstract: Exact nearest-neighbour and radius-search routines that operate directly
  on 'bigmemory::big.matrix' objects. The package streams row blocks through 'BLAS'
  kernels, supports self-search and external-query search, exposes prepared references
  for repeated queries, and can build exact k-nearest-neighbour, radius, mutual k-nearest-neighbour,
  and shared-nearest-neighbour graphs. Version 0.3.0 adds execution plans, serializable
  prepared caches, resumable streamed graph jobs, coercion helpers, exact candidate
  reranking, and recall summaries for evaluating approximate neighbours.
