Contributions summary:Raul primarily contributed to the `gm` package, focusing on the implementation and testing of a bins structure for spatial searching. Their work involved defining the `BinEntry`, `Bin`, and `Bins` structs, along with methods like `Init`, `Append`, `Clear`, `Find`, `CalcIdx`, and `FindAlongLine`. The user also added comprehensive tests, demonstrating their focus on ensuring the correct functionality of the spatial search algorithms.
