[postgis-devel] Gserialized Enabled vs Disabled

[Paragon Corporation]

Okay this fails on both

	SELECT ST_Disjoint(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POINT(-71.0821
42.3036)'), ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;TRIANGLE((-71.0821 42.3036,-71.0821
42.3936,-71.0901 42.3036,-71.0821 42.3036))'))

With the unknown geometry type 14 - Triangle

Can you force the old one to fail by avoiding the short circuits?

My guess was that most of the empty failures are happening because before
empty was a geometrycollection, which meant it got kicked out of a lot of
functions early on the basis of not being a handled type.

The new types is more of a mystery, but rather than puzzling over the
differences, is there a correct behavior we want to enforce consistently?
