Comment(by robe):

 Nope not for that function, but why would I when it was by pure accident
 that I realized my code was happily working with some undocumented
 feature.  I suspect it may have been introduced when we made this change
 possibly?

 http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.5/ST_Line_Locate_Point.html

 though that doesn't work even on my 1.5 install and I think we have a bug
 ticket on that somewhere.

 {{{
 SELECT ST_Line_Locate_Point('MULTILINESTRING((1 2, 3 4))'::geometry,
 ST_Point(1,2));
 }}}

 I hope that wasn't my imagination that we made this change. I assume I
 availabilities aren't a figment of my imagination.  But I could be wrong.
 Paul you ever remember making this change?  I suspect if we made this
 change -- and it could be purely in my imagination as well as the
 availability comment, it may have been made for the special one line
 string multilinestring cases that people have because they brought there
 data in as multilinestring because they happened to have 1 or 2 multis out
 of a swarm of linestrings.
