[section Introduction]
The __boost_geometry_index__ is intetended to gather containers
(spatial indexes) used for speeding spatial queries up. It is a part of the
__boost_geometry__ library.
In general, spatial indexes stores geometric objects' representations and
allows searching for objects occupying some space or close to some point in space.
Currently, only one spatial index is implemented - __rtree__.
