"""Snap an arbitrary lat/lon to a stable ~4-square-mile grid cell.
The grid is defined by fixed latitude rows (~2 miles tall). Within each row the
longitude step is scaled by cos(latitude) so cells stay roughly square (~4 sq mi)
at every latitude instead of getting skinny toward the poles. Cell ids are
deterministic, so the same physical location always maps to the same cache file.
Coverage is worldwide: any lat in [-90, 90] and any longitude (wrapped into
[-180, 180)) maps to a cell.
