Description
It would be great to extend Lapper's modus operandi to also perform the "fuzzy" search - instead of the exact match inside one of the intervals, allow to search for the closest interval when there is no exact match.
The API could be similar to find:
pub fn closest(&self, start: I, stop: I) -> IterFind<'_, I, T>ⓘ

Research direction
Start by reading the existing Lapper find API and its IterFind return type, then review how interval-tree queries handle exact matches. Define the expected closest-interval behavior for values without an exact match and consider how the proposed closest signature should expose it.
