 According to the documentation, ST_OffsetCurve is supposed to take text.

 When I went to go install the documentation in my database, I get this
 error:


 {{{
  psql:share/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis_comments.sql:564: ERROR: function
 st_offsetcurve( geometry, double precision, text ) does not exist
 }}}

 And I thought hmm -- I know I've got this function.  So I looked at it,
 and its defined with cstring?

 Why are we using cstring BTW.  Never understood what it's for.

 Anyrate. Which is right strk -- the documentation or the code?
