I avoided trying to comment on this code in the past as the existing
lookup function isn't mine, but rather Paul Kienzle's ... However, I'd
say that it makes sense to accelerate the lookup function as its needed
for nearest and linear interpolation in all of the interpX functions and
these are used relatively often... If the code passes all of the
existing tests in use in the interpX functions, then I'd say accept it.
