Geohash as a Get Location return parameter

A suggestion for an extra Get Location return parameter (or perhaps a Variable Convert function) is the geohash.

As a usage example, I scrape weather forecasts from the UK Met Office website, which uses a geohash to specify a location (anywhere in the world as far as I can see). To do this I currently have to Get Location, feed the coordinates to the Geohash website, extract the geohash from the result and then feed that into the Met Office website before extracting the forecast data.

It'd be nice to simplify the process.

Well, I took the next step and nicked some code from the Movable Type Scripts website and made a JavaScriptlet that creates a geohash from the Get Location return parameters.
