I must confess: I don't fully understand this part of Sandro's comment. In
JTS, we have Garbage Collection and thus no need for destruction
functions, isn't it? Thus, it is a completely different story in JTS and
GEOS IMHO. Why would it matter whether the one or the other thing is a
class or an interface on JTS side?

Thanks, best regards,
