Comment(by robe):

 Pierre,

 Actually I rather liked the way ST_Value worked returning only one value.
 Its convenient in many cases.  If you are going to have it return multiple
 -- then call it ST_values and please leave ST_Value alone.  Like for
 example when I'm grabbing an elevation as a rule of thumb -- I really only
 want one value.  If you must consider all pixels then average them.
