 Functions like ST_Intersects() still do not support the GeometryCollection
 type as argument. I have implemented a wrapper in plpgsql, which loops
 over collection geometries, but this inacceptably inperformant.

 A native implementation makes sense because other multi geometries are
 supported, too.

 The docs for 1.4 still warn not to use GeometryCollection as argument, so
 I think milestone 1.4.1 is correct.
