Description

It'd be nice if we could do something like:

DRAW text 
  MAPPING geom AS geometry
  SETTING aggregate => 'geometry:centroid'

To place labels in the middle of polygons.
Possibly there might be other useful spatial aggregations, but I don't have them at my fingertips now.

Research direction

Start by tracing how DRAW text handles MAPPING and SETTING clauses, then inspect the existing aggregation path. Define the supported spatial aggregation scope, including geometry:centroid, and verify that applying it places labels at polygon centers; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
