Custom GeoGrouping on Census geography for choropleth maps #209

@JavadocMD

Description

@JavadocMD

Now that the API lets us apply arbitrary groupings to geo selections, it would be nice if those worked when drawing choropleth maps.

At the moment, the mechanism is that a geo strategy is converted to a scope, and then we load geography for that scope. The problem is that a custom GeoGrouping (which is not a CensusGrouping) will result in a CustomScope and the maps tool gives up trying to render CustomScope maps.

This is solvable though -- one could effectively produce new geography which is the union of all of the polygons from the source geography in each group. But this will take some work of course.
