             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ignacio Vera


Hi [~daddywri],

I was thinking in the limitation of convexity for circle planes and I worked 
out another approach that overcome this limitation. There is a condition, 
circle lanes must contain the center of the circle which is probably always 
true for planets like WGS84 which are not too far from the sphere.

The idea is create a short of polygon for every slice using the center of the 
circle (like an orange) and therefore you can treat them separately. I attached 
what I developed, it seems to pass all tests regardless of the radius.

Let me know what you think and if I am missing something.
