Wrapping the dateline or being able to encircle one of the poles (but not necessarily both) are polygon query features that I feel need to be addressed before this module is first released (whenever that is), definitely. And arguably before benchmarking, which we're looking to focus on soon. So "Soon". W/i 2 months? Just a guess.
