The copy constructor is not public because it's not implemented for 
public use.
If you have a compilation error, it's because you are trying to copy a 
class containing a kd-tree (which is not possible). You should use 
something like a reference or a (shared) pointer to your tree instead
(if it makes sense for your application).
