18 - Combining node and way queries

Now that we can query for both nodes and ways we can do more complex queries.

Here is an example that finds ways within our bounding box. It then uses an around filter to query for nodes tagged as amenity that are within 100 meters of those ways.

Remember that the around filter will read from the default set if a named set is not specified. So the node query is implicitly filtering based on the results found in the way query. Both queries are limited by the bounding box set for the whole query.
