+The <em>snap</em> threshold defines the maximal distance from one to another
+vertex in map units (for latitude-longitude locations in degree). If there
+is no other vertex within <em>snap</em> distance, no snapping will be done.
+Note that a too large value can severely damage area topology, beyond repair.
