I've used the name get_grid_copy(), since BlockStructuredColumns and StructuredColumns already have a grid() method and this would cause a conflict.
As suggested in the Issue, PointCloud stores a Grid if constructed with one. It returns this if it has it, otherwise it generates one using its own iterator. I've added a test case that checks both paths. Although the test is apparently run with MPI=2, the (nb_partitions_ == 1) branch in the added function is being used to generate the Grid because the PointCloud constructor that takes a vector of points does not set nb_partitions_. I've been using the code externally and the parallel branch is giving me correct results, but I think ideally this should be tested. Not sure how to resolve. Should that constructor have a nb_partitions_ = comm.size() statement?
