third element, ``'spheroid'``, may be included to tell GeoDjango
to use the more accurate spheroid distance calculation functions on
fields with a geodetic coordinate system (e.g., ``ST_Distance_Spheroid``
would be used instead of ``ST_Distance_Sphere``).
would be used instead of ``ST_Distance_Sphere``). The simpler ``ST_Distance``
function is used with projected coordinate systems.
