Comment:

 It's hard, some systems both (a) want only homogeneous feature types and
 (b) want to preserve collapsed components.

 So you can't for example convert a LINESTRING(0 0, 0 0) into a POINT(0 0).

 Nor can you drop it, because the user wants to *see* the result.

 I'm going to close this because I don't see a fix path, just an
 interesting conversation over beers.
