Isn't this basically the same thing that the cube contrib module does? 
(Which has the added benefit of kNN-capable operators).

If that's true then ISTM it'd be better to work on pulling cube's 
features into box?

If it's not true, I'm still wondering if there's enough commonality here 
that we should pull cube into core...
