Feature Request:

create function like getNeighbors() in openlocationcode.py from https://github.com/bocops/open-geotiling/blob/master/java/org/bocops/opengeotiling/OpenGeoTile.java

/**

Get an array of the typically 8 neighboring tiles of the same size.
@return an array of the typically 8 neighboring tiles of the same size;
may return less than 8 neighbors for tiles near the poles. */

Hi! Thanks for the feature request. Can you provide a little more info about your use case? What does a function like that help you accomplish?

Thanks for the pointers. I'll start a thread internally about where the expanded functionality would go (e.g. core library or separate repo like you currently have).
