	// a point of the target geometry that is contained by that polygon.

	// Optionally, any polygon that intersects the target geometry may also be
	// returned.  In other words, this method returns all polygons that
	// contain any connected component of the target, along with an arbitrary
	// subset of the polygons that intersect the target.

	// For example, suppose that the index contains two abutting polygons
	// A and B. If the target consists of two points "a" contained by A and
	// "b" contained by B, then both A and B are returned. But if the target
