 Both geography and geometry need a densification function so that long
 lines can be transformed without losing their basic shape. This would
 allow a geodetic geography line to be mapped on a planar map while showing
 the essential curvature of the great circle interpolation. Similarly, long
 straight geometry lines in a UTM map could show up in other projections
 with the current locations.
