 I'm not so concerned about this, cause I didn't know
 sT_LineCrossingDirection was ever supposed to work with curves, but
 evidentally in 2.1.8 it thought it did.


 {{{
 SELECT ST_LineCrossingDirection('LINESTRING(-11.1111111 70,70
 -11.1111111)'::geometry,
     'CIRCULARSTRING(-71.0821 42.3036,-71.4821 42.3036,-71.7821
 42.7036,-71.0821 42.7036,-71.0821 42.3036)'::geometry)
 }}}

 In 2.1.8, this returns 0


 in 2.2.0 this returns:


 {{{
 ERROR:  This function only accepts LINESTRING as arguments.
 CONTEXT:  SQL function "st_linecrossingdirection" statement 1
 }}}

 Fill free to dismiss as won't fix, if this was an intentional change.
