[gdal-dev] Call for discussion about RFC 61: Support for measures in geometries

[Even Rouault]

As in almost every non bug-fix release, the ABI will be broken anyway. In 
particular because of the changes in OGRGeometry class (and probably other 
changes)

From the header 
""" * Purpose:  Some private helper functions and stuff for OGR 
implementation."""

(and the _p suffix meaning protected/private)

And as you noticed this symbol is not exported, so it can only be used by in-
tree code.

The header might be installed for some external plugins that could use CPL_DLL 
symbols I guess.
