What's LMCTVIFY?
Please accept my apologies for attempting to be cute and I also apologize to Mr Bebber for reading his request far too quickly. I was trying to use (C)RAN (T)ask (V)iews as a verb.
LMGTFY for LMCTVIY produced only LMGTFY, at least for me. There's space for it on Wikipedia ("RTFM") after LMGTFY (which I found using LMGTFY Wikipedia).
I don't think it warrants being enshrined. I might also have written: require(sos); findFn("metric spherical latitude longitude") might produce. In this instance that approach found the ramps::corRSpher function, which has a "haversine" metric, much more quickly than did my subsequent efforts with RSeek, which I conducted after I realized that Bebber had already made a good faith effort at identifying resources.
