Comment (by nicklas):

 I don't really get this request.

 lwgeom_mindistance2d_tolerance is just an internal function with a bad
 name.

 raising the tolerance above 0 will stop the calculations to save some cpu-
 cycles.

 But the logic of ST_DWithin is done on the outer function LWGEOM_dwithin.

 Testing if the function stops as expected I can understand, but the result
 will change with small changes in code without changing output.

 But where to document it? and for who?
