should call Less() fewer times when iterating #42

Description

@caterchong

when calling DescendRange methods, an iteration is performed.

All items between [lessOrEqual, greaterThan ) are iterated.

Suppose there're n items in the range, I though Less function is called log(n) times.

However, Less is called more than n times as a matter of

if stop != nil && !n.items[i].Less(stop) {
				return hit, false
			}

Why make comparisons this way? I though if parent node can decide all its children are in the range, most Less(stop) call can be optimized out.

Are there anything wrong with this idea?
