Is there anything in the roadmap for geospatial index support?

Our major usecase for mongo is returning entries in ordered distance from a location and / or within some radius of a location.

Support for such queries would be seriously useful.

We generally try to adopt the philosophy of making the existing features really good before building new ones, and there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for us to pick for now.

I'd like to get geospacial support in, but it will take a bit of time before we can get to that. We'll likely get it in within a year, so it's a fairly long-term feature for now.
