Find Nearest Entity (0)

To go with the shiny new Find Natural Target, it would be nice to have a command to find the nearest entity of a given type.

Nearestness is decided as so:

1. The entity with the lowest Chebyshev Distance* is nearest,
2. If there is a tie, choose the closest from the tied entities using Pythagorean Distance.
3. If there is a tie again, choose the most northwest entity from those tied.

*It could also be possible to choose between Chebyshev, Manhatten and Pythagorean distance, similarly Find Natural Target's targeting types.
