Description

In spatial applications, it is common to ask whether a point is inside of a polygon. Solr could support two forms of this:

1. A field contains a polygon and the user supplies a point. If it does, the doc is returned.
2. A document contains a point and the user supplies a polygon. If the point is in the polygon, return the document

With both of these case, it would be good to support the negative assertion, too.
