Yeah, I saw [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-can-i-rasterize-the-polygons-of-a-shapefile-in-julia/15089/17) from 2018 and was going to try it until I found the `AG.unsafe_rasterize` function. But now that I look at that old thread, I would still need to get my shapes into the `Dataset` type somehow.

It seems the natural place would be within `Shapefile.jl` since (unless I’m missing something) WKT is just a string version of a shapefile.
