Could be a nice new function ! :)

A way to do so, is 'just' to send on this list a patch generated with  
diff -u command.
and also to say explicitly in your mail, the trunk revision number.


The patch should compile without  warnings,
don't generate any errors with make check,
and follow the style guide (http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/STYLE)


In a perfect world the patch should also contains
DocBook documentation and CUnit tests:
   http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiDocNewFeature
   http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiCUnit


But for a single function if you already provide 'clean' code,
that's a good start ! :)


Don't hesitate to ask any question related to this process on the list.
