Comments could use some touch-up. (I'd prefer not to "micro-manage" them.)

This still makes us do work for example for shapes (which we don't care about
here.) If it helps you could put the distance calculation in a helper function.

Should this be considering all candidates with equal distance regardless of if
one LayoutSVGText was found already (with the same original distance)?
