[postgis-devel] line constructors

[strk at refractions.net]

The proposed interface is implemented in HEAD.
A question: should we (also or instead) have a makeline function ?

1) F makeline(multipoint); -- function
2) A makeline(point);  -- aggregate

Having 1) would make 2) obtainable with:
	makeline(collect(point));

Obtain 1) from 2) is not currently possible.

Have both would require a different name as they have same
number of args and arg types.

Thoughts (same toughts would apply to makepoly) ?

--strk;
