Use rate limiting by default?

It's generally bad practice to throw a few hundred geocoding requests at a free service. Given that, is it worth setting a default delay of one second, and let people explicitly turn it off if needed?

Nice thing about Geopy's built-in rate limiting is that it handles errors and retries out of the box: https://geopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#geopy.extra.rate_limiter.RateLimiter That's worth the price of admission on its own.

Yes, as of just now.
