To add a point to an array of points it's not trivial, but an efficient
way to do it it's to maintain a list of pointers to points and add it at
the end or change intermediate pointers to insert at the middle of the
list.

I cannot do that because I would have been spending high amounts of
memory and time to get 'almost' the same that I had at the beginning.
It's unneficient to copy all the list to add a single point.

I have already take a look, but the documentation is very similar that
GEOS'.

How can be used GEOS geometry editors/filters? Is also with this method
necessary to copy the whole geometry to a new one)

Best regards.
