It would be great to be able to query a mapnik layer for its geometry_type, and have it report this through its layer_descriptor. This will require setting this descriptor for each plugin (potentially through different methods). Potentially the type should be boost::optional to accommodate situations where geometry type is unknown or features are empty.
