Comment:

 pramsey -- you have to take those out :).  Those are introducing new
 functions in a micro release -- NOT ALLOWED.  you can put them in 2.2
 (though I would advice against it) but not in 2.1.

 You may think those are harmless adds, but I don't think they are.

 What if someone did this:


 {{{
 SELECT st_overlaps(someraster, '000000d23232')
 }}}


 What would you want to happen -- it error or raster gets converted to
 geometry.  I personally would prefer the erroring.
