Hey Paul, we have this feature added as a Lua script, but adding it in a native way could be interesting actually. Itamar Haber wrote the Lua script and was pushing for adding it in a native way, I wanted to check after the release the actual demand for it.

This would be extremely helpful. We work with local governments and they have a cornucopia of geo-boundaries to query across. PostGIS works really well, but providing a cache-layer on top via Redis for simple counts would be amazing.
I personally don't have a use right now, but that sounds incredibly useful!
That sounds amazing. Do you have a link to the lua script?

UPDATE: found it https://github.com/RedisLabs/geo.lua

Yes please! So much interesting stuff that this would enable.
+1 from me. This would be good addition!
The ability to query with polygons defined by transit isochrones would be broadly useful.
+1. Would be an extremely useful addition !
