<p>
The free function area calculates the area of a geometry. using the specified
strategy. Reasons to specify a strategy include: use another coordinate
system for calculations; construct the strategy beforehand (e.g. with
the radius of the Earth); select a strategy when there are more than
one available for a calculation.
