>From Emil's mail:

"Also note that the two input coordinates were not in the same frame —
one is automatically converted to match the other, ensuring that even
though they are in different frames, the separation is determined
consistently."

This isn't very clear if the manual doesn't state which way the
conversion goes (ie assigns a priority). Preferably the user should be
allowed to specify.
