   Compute the closest point on the :class:`warp.Mesh` with identifier ``id`` to the given ``point`` in space.
   
   This method does not compute the sign of the point (inside/outside) which makes it faster than other point query methods.
   
   Triangles that are degenerate or nearly degenerate relative to their edge lengths are excluded from
   the closest-point search, so such a face can be skipped even when it satisfies the distance
   constraint. If every face satisfying the distance constraint is excluded, the query returns no result.
   
   :param id: The mesh identifier
   :param point: The query point, in the mesh's local space
   :param max_dist: Maximum allowed distance to the returned closest point. The query returns no result if no face is strictly closer than this distance.
   
   :returns: A :class:`warp.MeshQueryPoint`. Check ``result`` first, then read ``face`` (index of the
             closest face) and the barycentric coordinates ``u`` and ``v`` of the closest point. This
             method does not compute ``sign``. Pass ``face``, ``u`` and ``v`` to
             :func:`mesh_eval_position` to obtain the closest point's position.
