Take an untyped pointer as a pointer, and call what answers nothing - #34

An UNTYPED pointer stays untyped. MEOS states nothing about what a `void *` points at — `rtree_insert` takes whichever key the tree is created for — so the layer states nothing either and the caller hands over the pointer of the value it means, the `Ptr` every wrapped instance publishes. GoMEOS answers the same shape with `unsafe.Pointer`. A STATIC METHOD THAT ANSWERS NOTHING IS STILL A METHOD. "Neither a receiver nor a value to return" is true of such a signature and false of what it does: `Pcschema.Register` puts a schema in the process-global cache, `Pcschema.Clear` empties it, and the two kNN cursors are closed the same way. A method is called for what it does as much as for what it answers. 11 methods reach the object layer between them — `RTree.Insert`, `.Search`, `.Load` and their SP-tree twins, `MeosArray.Add` and `.Get`, `Pcschema.Register`, `.RegisterXml` and `.Clear`, and the two cursor closes — 1335 methods against 1324, 25 deferred against 36. Two tests call both kinds: an R-tree over float spans takes two of them as pointers and answers 1 for the one that overlaps, and the schema cache is cleared and then says so — by raising, which is how MEOS reports a pcid it holds no schema for.
