Feature Request: Vectorized version of shape

[cheginit]

Currently, shapely.geometry.shape only works with single objects. It'd be great, if it also accepts an array of geojson dicts and made vectorized.

Currently, this is my workaround:

import rasterio.features as rio_features
from shapely.geometry import shape as geojson2geom
import numpy as np

shapes = rio_features.shapes(...)
geojsons, _ = zip(*shapes)
geoms = np.vectorize(geojson2geom)(geojsons)

Also, I think once it's vectorized, it can be added to the top-level namespaces and renamed to something more descriptive, maybe?

Ideally, the vectorized version can be called like so:

import rasterio.features as rio_features
import shapely

shapes = rio_features.shapes(...)
geojsons = (g for g, _ in shapes)
geoms = shapely.geojson2geom(geojsons)
