<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been fixing a bug in my application code
recently and found two things in geos that could do with some
attention:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1/ have a getGeometryType member function that
returns an integer rather than a string as testing integers is faster than a
string compare;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2/ make geometry.intersection always return a
GeometryCollection, even if it only contains one geometry. This removes the need
to check what has actually been returned, you only need to itterate through the
GeometryCollection;</FONT></DIV>
