   Does Apache Sedona use pyproj for coordinate transformations or does it use 
other tools?
   I don't know if this is possible in Apache Sedona, but I did not see 
ST_Transform handle custom transformations between coordinate systems. I do not 
mean custom coordinate systems, i mean custom transformations.
   
   When running function St_transform(geometry, EPSG:From, EPSG:To, 
**Transformation EPSG**) I should be able to control which transformation to 
use between the two datums using a parameter **EPSG Code/WKT**.
   
   For example:
   St_Transform(geometry, (From) 4258, (To)4326, (Using) 1612 )
   
   Why is this important? There are many ways to transform between to geodetic 
datums and this can have a huge impact on the accuracy of the end coordinates. 
In this case, if I do not control how the coordinate system transformation 
happens the accuracy can be tens of meters because there are roughly 36 ways to 
go from EPSG:4258 to EPSG 4326. This is not exposed to the end user at all. 
Whilst controlling which transformation to use, in this case 1612, the accuracy 
will be around 1 meter.
   
   Any way this can be exposed to the end user?
