10234	boost::geometry::covered_by wrong results	Alexander Sarychev <alex-x@…>	awulkiew	"I have a problem with boost::geometry::covered_by method to determine if point is inside polygon or not. In the example below I have point that is exactly out of polygon. Point is far away from polygon by x coordinate (0.1377). The 3rd point of polygon has y-coordinate (4.9999999999999982). And this leads to problem I think. When I change 4.9999999999999982 to 5.00 all is OK. What to do?
