I'm not very comfortable with forcing callers to take care of
keeping a PrecisionModel object alive. As you noted it
would be a good idea to just have GeometryFactory keep a copy
of that. I'm actually not even sure this isn't the case already,
should check.

If I recall correctly a previous proposal was to "downgrade" the
precision model to an argument to the GeometryFactory constructor.
What do you think ?
