`geo.ST_DWithin()` tests if the specified region is within a defined distance from
the specified GIS geometry and returns `true` or `false`.

##### Function type signature

```js
(distance: A, geometry: B, region: C, ?units: {distance: string}) => bool where A: Comparable + Equatable, B: Record, C: Record
```

## Parameters

### region

(Required)
Region to test. Specify record properties for the shape.

### geometry

(Required)
GIS geometry to test. Can be either point or linestring geometry.

### distance

(Required)
Maximum distance allowed between the region and geometry.
Define distance units with the `geo.units` option.

### units

Record that defines the unit of measurement for distance.
Default is the `geo.units` option.
