#454: ST_Wrap ?

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Still looking for a good name, anyway the idea is to allow people to
 "split"
 a set of geometries in a table so that every component falling off a given
 X-value
 is X-shifted by a given amount. Tipical use is to make a wgs84 map visible
 as 0,360 rather than -180,180 or as whatever makes sense of a specific use
 (think pacific).

 This was referred to as ST_ShiftLongitude on the mailing list
 http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2010-
 February/008886.html

 But the "Longitude" part is misleading as it may be useful in mercator too
 for example..
