Veering slightly off topic but still related to Geometry development, I've
hit some hurdles with the rtree index. I could create an index of points
easily but then couldn't query for the nearest neighbour of a segment. (I
assume this is simply not supported at present; is it forthcoming?) So I
created a ring or polygon from the segment and tried to query for the
points that it covers/intersects, which is a feature listed in the
documentation, but I've hit this compilation error:
/usr/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/detail/overlay/get_turn_info.hpp:932:32:
error: no matching function for call to
