You are right, my examples are bad and the geometrical limit (length
of the non-water part of the boundary ≤ 3/2 square root of its area)
is confusing. Nevertheless, i'm hesitant to remove the geometrical
limit as others have raised the concern that some people might tag any
area at a coast as peninsula (similar to the natural=bay examples).
