// Constructs a new quadtree for the specified array of points. A quadtree is a
// two-dimensional recursive spatial subdivision. This implementation uses
// square partitions, dividing each square into four equally-sized squares. Each
// point exists in a unique node; if multiple points are in the same position,
// some points may be stored on internal nodes rather than leaf nodes. Quadtrees
// can be used to accelerate various spatial operations, such as the Barnes-Hut
// approximation for computing n-body forces, or collision detection.
