Ah, well that's somewhat clearer.  Return the closest and not bother
to let the user know it was inexact.  Upon requesting it with
nearest=True, they *knew* that the result might be a nearest match.
 Though if they ask for nearest, an exact match *better* be the
nearest if it exists. :-P

I'd say the API-user shouldn't ask for what they don't want.
