gdspy.inside only checks for inside the bbox

Hi, I have tried to use gdsy.inside, and I also read snippets of clipper.cpp, it looks like the inside function only checks if the point is inside the bbox of the polygon(s). Is it true and do you have any API for checking if the point is inside the polygon but not its bbox? Thanks

The bounding box check is just the first check for a fast response: if the point is outside the bounding box, it cannot be inside the polygon. After that, the more expensive polygon check is performed.
