In the OGR tutorial here:
 http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_apitut.html

I find the text:
 "For each 2D geometry type there is a corresponding 2.5D type code; however, there is only a C++ class for both the 2D and 3D cases."

I can't quite parse it.  I understand that wkbFlatten turns e.g. wkbLineString25D into wkbLineString, and that the class OGRLineString stores either type.  Perhaps the tutorial means to say "there is NOT a C++ class.."?
