Comment (by pramsey):

 Why return MULTI? Tyranny of homogeneity. If you don't, you'll end up with
 a heterogeneous result set. However, a guess an argument can be made that
 we already return those and people wrap them in ST_Multi(). On the third
 hand though, if everyone is always wrapping their geometry processing
 calls in ST_Multi() maybe that means we're doing things wrong to start
 with.
