 Description   

I want to have new GeoJSON object with type circle (sphere).

I have a task to intersect circles (spheres) in my work.
Now i intersect polygon (square). This is not true for my task.

I hope, that this feature will be added.

It can better for now to convert circle to polynom then accuracy can be handled for now.

Even I would like a GeoJSON property to store a circle and then we run queries like $geoIntersects with it so that we can find out if the point lies inside a stored circle. Is this possible in the current scenario?If yes, How? If now. Will this be added in later versions?

I have hacked it and done it like [this](https://github.com/SarasArya/mongoose_geofence/tree/master). But would definitely love to have some more support in this regard.

We're currently focused on implementing better support for basic GeoJSON across all indexes. Successors to GeoJSON like TopoJSON support these kind of arcs (and I believe there were enhanced GeoJSON proposals for arc'd shapes) but this adds complexity and accuracy issues that may be better handled at the application side for now.

I have a point and many circles (point + radius). Circles are stored in collection. I want to find a circles that intersect this point.

The GeoJSON spec does not account for circles: http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html. Do you need to see points which or GeoJSON shapes which are found in the intersection of two circles or do you need to store the circles themselves?
