 This we discussed in:
 http://www.postgis.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2011-January/011541.html

 That in current and older versions this function was transcribed wrong and
 the name is not SQL-MM compliant.  But strk felt we should keep it.  I
 personally feel we should just scrap ST_ModEdgesSplit to minimize on
 confusion (with new users accidentally using the old function name) with a
 change note in the docs and readme that this function name has changed and
 can be aliased back to old name if really needed.  Perhaps put in a legacy
 script like we are building  for the core postgis stuff I'm dissecting
 out.

 I consider this a new beginning for topology and just want to shed old
 confusing baggage so we can add really useful baggage.
