Distance between two points on a plane is easy and two points on two

Polygon "handling" - can you go into more detail here?

You mentioned polygons enclosed in other polygons, that seems like it

I think it's important to look into what specific functions we want to
use on one hand immediately and on the other hand in the middle term.
Please keep them coming.
