//
//  Returns the instance id of an object colliding with a given line and
//  closest to the first point, or noone if no instance found.
//  The solution is found in log2(range) collision checks.

//      x1,y2       first point on collision line, real
//      x2,y2       second point on collision line, real
//      object      which objects to look for (or all), real
//      prec        if true, use precise collision checking, bool
//      notme       if true, ignore the calling instance, bool
