  - ### haversinKilometers

    public static double haversinKilometers(double lat1, double lon1, double lat2, double lon2)
    Returns the Haversine distance in kilometers between two points specified in decimal degrees (latitude/longitude). This works correctly even if the dateline is between the two points.

    Error is at most 4E-1 (40cm) from the actual haversine distance, but is typically much smaller for reasonable distances: around 1E-5 (0.01mm) for distances less than 1000km.

    Parameters:
      `lat1` - Latitude of the first point.
      `lon1` - Longitude of the first point.
      `lat2` - Latitude of the second point.
      `lon2` - Longitude of the second point.
    Returns:
      distance in kilometers.
