 Replying to [comment:4 mdavis]:
 > GEOS is generally not infinite-ordinate-safe.

 And yet Envelope says that it can sometimes hold infinite sided bounds!
 Gah!

 I think in general having known infinite loops in GEOS is bad? Like, "feed
 this function an Inf and it'll lock up on you". So a GEOS patch is not a
 bad idea?
