GEOSGeometry.buffer() accepts a distance argument which is in the unit of the coordinate reference system of the geometry.
It is often necessary, however, to specify the buffer size in a more down-to-earth coordinate system, for example meters.
with_metric_buffer(geom, buf_size) implements this functionality.
