Description
Is it possible to have --clip-bounding-box handle more than boxes, i.e. a polygon, or a file of polygons? I do understand this can be done in tandem with ogr2ogr or similar tools.

Research direction
The entry point is the --clip-bounding-box command-line option; first inspect how it currently accepts bounding boxes. Compare the requested polygon or polygon-file behavior with ogr2ogr, then clarify the supported input and clipping semantics; done means the agreed polygon cases work and are covered by tests.
