[pdal] Filters.Crop "where" parameter issue

Hi Guys,

I wasn't sure if this was a bug or me just using the where parameter in
Filters.Crop incorrectly so I thought this might be the best place to post
my problem.

I am using PDAL version 2.1.0 taken from Conda

I'm trying to use Filters.Crop to crop an extruded polygon in 3D space, I
thought I could use the polygon parameter to define a 2D polygon in XY
space and use the where parameter to ignore points that are outside my
defined Z values.

My problem is that I get this error message: PDAL: filters.crop: Unexpected
argument 'where'.

I am using a pipeline which I'll paste below, any thoughts on what is going
wrong?

Kind Regards,
Rob
