22423	Geodjango spatial functions should leverage mysql 5.6 spatial functions.	visu	visu	"Hi,

Starting from 5.6 version, mysql implemented spatial functions properly.
(ie, similar to postgis, mysql also supports ST_Contains, ST_Within and other ST_ queries.)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/functions-for-testing-spatial-relations-between-geometric-objects.html#function_st-contains

Geodjango currently implements poly__contains and other queries for mysql as ""MBRContains"" instead of ""Contains""
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/geoquerysets/#std:fieldlookup-gis-contains

This needs to be fixed.
