I'd love to test out the new beta with these features too, hopefully with both versions in-tact. Let's call them $onpoly() and $onpoly2() It would be interesting to do a speed comparison between both methods, the windows region, and the purely mathematical solution.
I'd assume the windows region method was an earlier method back in the day to circumvent speed issues of doing it purely mathematically. With advancements in processors and their ability to handle mathematics faster, this might now be moot, it may either perform the same, or worse using windows regions
