Oh well, I spoke too soon.
It turns out Geometry objects are seriously immutable at the
C++ side, and don't feel like changing that.
The "normalize" method is indeed an exception also in C++,
but the only way to change a Geometry's GeometryFactory pointer is by
creating a new Geometry.

In order to reduce the copies, I'm sure we can find another signature
to apply the precision and rounding at construction time.
I'll let you make a proposal for that while I'll work on the
GEOSGeometry-returning version of the "_setPrecision" function.
