 Add a flag so that 2 coordinate point pairs would be interpreted as
 opposite corners of a bounding rectangle that would select and query all
 vector objects within (or partly within) the selection rectangle.

 A further enhancement would be to allow more than 2 coordinate pairs to
 define the vertices of a polygon that would select vector objects.

 This would make it possible to create a GUI interface for interactive
 querying using a mouse-drawn rectangle (or polygon) in the display window.
