Background
The distance to the origin for a point (x, y) is:
Is the sqrt required when comparing two points to see which is closest to the origin or can you just determine which point's squared distance is closer?
Basis Library

closest_to_origin
Write a function
fun closest_to_origin(xys : (real*real) list) : (real*real) option =
which returns closest point to the origin, if it exists.
