distance from segment is included, but bearing difference should also be included. Potentially we should also allow for sorting results by bearing instead of distance, or some combo of distance + bearing.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the module's match output and the existing distance-based result ordering. Define how bearing difference should be represented and whether bearing, distance, or a combination should control sorting; done means the output and sorting behavior are specified and covered by relevant tests.
