Comment (by robe):

 Regarding Mark's thought of YES WE CAN if we fiddle with the system
 catalogs and my thought of YES WE CAN (I think I might have gotten this
 idea from Kevin) -- if we include a plpgsql function in there that checks
 to see what kind of mess we are dealing with before we fiddle around with
 people's functions and does the conditional right thing.

 YES WE CAN do this without requiring a hard upgrade --- BUT -- WE  ARE
 VERY LATE on 1.4 and any YES WE CAN -- I consider scope creep.  I'm
 perfectly fine with putting this off to 1.5 (HINT HINT) and even throwing
 in Paul's "its almost Geodetic will satisfy 70% of people who need it"
 that we would be ashamed to call true geodetic.
