Comment (by robe):

 Hmm well closestPoint is definitely more clear than furthest point, and I
 see what you are saying.  Maybe we should leave that one out and let
 people make it if they need it.

 I guess I was thinking along the line of the question:
 If I were to design a train line (in this case I would draw my trainline
 as multipoints where each point is a train stop) to service an area.
 Which point in my service district has the furthest distance to trek to
 get to a train stop.  So that's why I kind of thought of them similarly.
