[postgis-devel] Re: LRS functions

[Christoph Spoerri]

Is there a greater plan for the types LRS functions that should be implemented 
or are desired by users? It seems some of the functions overlap in 
functionality and have different names. 

Is there a preference of naming the LRS functions?

I just wanted to avoid the duplication of efforts or re-inventing the wheel ;)

cheers,
Christoph
