Point in Polygon myWithin FYI

The function myWithin found at http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?23,366732,366732 only works if you 'close off the polygon'.

In the example provided by the author:

SET @point = PointFromText('POINT(5 5)') ;
SET @polygon = PolyFromText('POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10))') ;
SELECT myWithin(@point, @polygon) AS result ;

..the second line should be as follows, noting the final "0 0", closing the polygon at it's starting point.

SET @polygon = PolyFromText('POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0))') ;
