Comment(by robe):

 Angus,

 I think that is safe enough.  I was thinking we should probably do the
 same in PostGIS code or at the very least put it in our
 legacy_compatibility_layer.sql install file.
 -----------------------------------
 Paul,Strk,Mark, Chris -- can you think of any reason why we shouldn't add
 that to the legacy_compatibility_layer.sql .  I think the reason strk (or
 soeone else -- can't remember) was against was because it was just
 silently ignoring a problem instead of fixing it and allowing the error to
 be raised would cause people to fix the issue in their underlying code.
 Unfortunately I don't think there is a way for us to throw up a notice in
 a rule.

 For PostgreSQL 9.1 plus, we could use a view trigger instead and then we
 can raise a notice.  For 9.0 and less, we can only using view rules which
 have to be pure slq.
