I would prefer for the cosine tree to implement the same interface as
all mlpack trees do (see src/mlpack/core/tree/example_tree.hpp).  That
won't be easy to do and when the time comes I will help with it.

But, I eventually want to be able to plug in the cosine tree to the
dual-tree algorithms that mlpack offers --- even if the cosine tree is,
at this point, not useful for any of the problems mlpack dual-tree
algorithms solve.
