Orest,

Understood, though because the GDAL API does not provide such information
there is no way for the fdoogr or fdogdal providers to answer these questions.
The GDAL and OGR drivers (which presumably do know this) have no way of
reporting it up.   I can see some possible utility to adding this in the
future.

Best regards,
