Comment(by strk):

 A good companion to this function would be one that tells you if a
 geometry has a box known already or not. For GEOS shortcuts, for instance,
 it probably woulnd't make sense to force computation at the postgis side
 as GEOS will have to recompute the box anyway and will most likely have
 shortcircuits itself.
