Description
In order to more effectively solve deduping and cross-tile querying, it'd be great to union intersecting geometries (such as those split by a tile boundary).
This will require some work with boost and spatial-algorithms in order to move forward.

Research direction
Start by examining how vtquery represents and queries geometries across vector tiles, then investigate the referenced Boost and spatial-algorithms work. Done should mean intersecting geometries can be unioned reliably for deduping and cross-tile queries, with tests demonstrating the expected result.
