Description
The Polygon type currently holds an exterior ring and one or more interior rings, but otherwise doesn't enforce much.
Currently it is not enforced that the first and last positions should be equal, or the right hand rule as in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.6
Should we enforce these in this package? Or is it better to deal with those in packages such as GeoJSON.jl do you think?

Research direction
Review the Polygon type and its handling of the exterior and interior rings, then compare the RFC 7946 right-hand rule with how packages such as GeoJSON.jl handle validation. Determine whether ring closure and winding-order checks belong in this package or elsewhere; done means the validation scope and ownership are explicitly decided.
