@pjhartzell can you take a look and see if there's any other geometry helpers that you think could fit into this PR?

[pjhartzell]

I don't have any ideas on new helpers (I assume the new footprint functionality will make its way in here) . But a comment that we have antimeridian.py, which deals exclusively with geometries. And reproject_geom in projection.py.

Off-topic: Note that reproject_geom suffers from the problem that reprojecting a geometry generally reduces its fidelity (between vertices) to the originally described shape. Closely related to one of the challenges in the upcoming footprint creator.

@pjhartzell worth opening its own issue for?

@gadomski I can open one up.
