[MOAB-dev] OBB tree interface question

[Tim Tautges]

It wouldn't bother me at all, and I think such normalization across the various trees is desperately needed (I can think 
of other functions we need across the trees too, like closest vertex).

However, it does not return a list of the triangles that are intersected at those distances.  This is in contrast to the related function ray_intersect_sets(), as well as the equivalent function in the KD tree-- both return a list of distances and a list of triangles.
