Ari,

In this particular case I would support renaming geom to spatialFilter
in ExecuteSQL since it makes the interface more clear without causing
backward compatibility issues. Moreover we could make the interface
consistent with the C API:

OGRLayerH OGR_DS_ExecuteSQL  	(  	OGRDataSourceH   	 hDS,
		const char *  	pszSQLCommand,
		OGRGeometryH  	hSpatialFilter,
		const char *  	pszDialect	
	) 	


However if a typemap against a parameter should be implemented for all
of the bindings then using the explicit %apply with a sufficient
typemap name would be a requirement. But checking the validity of the
parameters should go as well to the C API in my opinion.

Best regards,

Tamas
