#724: ST_AsEWKT , ST_GeogFromText  regress failure
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  robe     |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.0
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  trunk

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 This one is from regression testing against PostGIS 1.5.2:
 I'm not really sure if this is just something you are not done with
 In PostGIS 2.0

 {{{

 SELECT
 ST_AsEWKT(ST_Collect(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;MULTIPOLYGONM(((-71.0821
 42.3036 2,-71.0822 42.3036 3,-71.082 42.3038 2,-71.0819 42.3037 2,-71.0821
 42.3036 2)))'),
 ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;POLYGONM((-71.1261 42.2703 1,-71.1257 42.2703

 }}}

 -- yields the below which is the same answer as 1.5 --

 {{{
 SRID=4326;GEOMETRYCOLLECTIONM(MULTIPOLYGON(((-71.0821 42.3036 2,-71.0822

 }}}

 Didn't we plan those to be all Ms in there?

 -- this works
 {{{

 geography(ST_Collect(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;MULTIPOLYGONM(((-71.0821

 1))') )) ;
 }}}

 --This doesn't work but used to in 1.5 so I have this problem
 -- that I can't convert what I used to input.. Maybe we don't care.

 -- this
 {{{
 SELECT
 ST_AsText(geography(ST_Collect(ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;MULTIPOLYGONM(((-71.0821
 42.3036 2,-71.0822 42.3036 3,-71.082 42.3038 2,-71.0819 42.3037 2,-71.0821

 1))') )) );

 }}}

 -- gives the below which was kind of what I was expecting ST_AsEWKT to
 return except with the additional SRID info

 {{{
 GEOMETRYCOLLECTION M (MULTIPOLYGON M (((-71.0821 42.3036 2,-71.0822

 2))),POLYGON M ((-71.1261 42.2703 1,-71.1257 42.2703 1,-71.1257 42.2701
 2,-71.126 42.2701 1,-71.1261 42.2702 1,-71.1261 42.2703 1)))
 }}}


 I'm not sure if we consider this a bug or not -- or is this the same
 issues as #718 and its just because you haven't set ST_AsEWKT to behave
 like the new ST_AsText of geography?
