"The zero coordinate point of the Swiss National Survey LV95"... in Madeira.

A friend having some holidays in Madeira found this: a mark for the 0,0 of the Swiss CRS.
(Well, the zero is on the sea, but not that far ;)

btw: Georust has released GeoJSON 1.0: the library has been stable for a long time, but @ikawe recently shipped a significant perf improvement (it was already extremely fast. It is now faster) and we felt that it was time to commit to a stable 1.0 release: https://crates.io/crates/geojson / https://docs.rs/geojson/1.0.0/geojson/

@jakobmiksch Insane amount of code. Most probably written with/by Claude. Will be interesting to see whether this is maintainable.
